Order the party platter now!

I hope to be really old by then.

[Hoss]

I hope to be really old by then.

I'll be 78.  I can hope...

During the most recent eclipse, someone with more math skills than I figured out a spot in Wyoming where the ISS would transit the sun as the moon was beginning the eclipse, followed 5 minutes later by the totality.  So they gather equipment, found access to land, and headed that way.  Full blown nerdgasm.

The crescent-shaped shadows all over my backyard were cool.

Oh, I'm in agreement.  I was the guy watching the video about the guys watching the eclipse.  i have no room to mock them.

Shadows on an old wheelbarrow in my yard...

Im not an astronomy person, but if you have never seen the Northern Lights at least once, you live a deprived life.
Here's tonight's prediction.



Look at the red View Line and find Oklahoma.  See that first big bright speck beneath it?   You are here.

That's only mid 90's.  Not that old....

I plan to watch it from the comfort of my front porch!  With a whiskey sour.

I'm betting against getting to see the ones from the 2060's on...don't think the kids will be willing to take me to see them.  Don't wanna be driving by that point.
