1) Reminder: For all those within the path, I would highly recommend everyone to start making plans for viewing the total solar eclipse, coming in August. Viewing a total solar eclipse is suppose to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Here is a link to help your planning. Page down to an area near you, should viewing be of interest. If you're on the west coast (and there abouts) of Oregon, the start of the eclipse will be at sunrise, which is suppose to make the viewing all the more bizarre and unusual.

2) I sent some alligator teeth to my nephew's children, in NC. Andrew made a necklace and a fidget spinner. I had to look up what a fidget spinner is. What will today's young folks think of next? LOL.

I would have used more teeth for a necklace. Surprisingly, it was Ryan's 9 yr old daughter who most wanted some teeth, but they all enjoyed getting them.... shared some with friends.

When I was in high school, I went with the local university's
astronomy club on a field trip to Atlanta for the eclipse (I could
snag three telescopes from my high school - they had one or two). We
found that there were going to be high clouds in Atlanta, so drove up
to North Carolina and set up in a farmer's field. It was kinda funny
because they thought we were nuts for even being outside during the
eclipse and she forced the kids inside during the whole thing.

The eclipse, itself, was incredible. Not to be missed. I watched the
totality through a 2-1/2" refractor (naked) and the solar prominences
were truly amazing. After it was over, the farmer's animals went
nuts. We hadn't noticed that while it was getting dark, all of the
animals found their way back into the barn. Two minutes later they
are some confused and were running all over the place.

It's highly recommended that if you can see it in person, do.

Do not have to go any where in the area of total eclipse 2' 33" if I
went a bit south about two mile would 2' 40". Could rent of camping
spot.

Well a room and breakfast would be cost prohibtive for the consumer.
But the new Holiday Inn won't be done till next year.

The whole thing is just a couple of hours. Camp out in the parking
lot of a supermarket. Haven't decided if I'll go (it's a Monday) but
if we do, we'll just make a day trip out of it. Maybe pick up dinner
in the big city on the way back.

That I'd do. If the timing was different and I could work around a
vacation trip I'd go for it but too far to go just for the eclipse. I
may do a trip out west but it would not be before September.

Interesting. That might be about the time I'm ready for my solo cross-

it.

Rent a boat and sit at the south end of Grassy Lake. Or stop by the
Bucky Dome and see how the restoration is going.

There are Muskie in Lake Kinkaid but any good guide would probably
dump in the middle of the lake for fishing them in August.

If he is going to use an SR-71 he better have a designated pilot.

I'd be the only pilot in the continental US to log night
hours--correctly--at 11:30 AM. :-)

Hey... As a bonus I'd finally be able to take US51 between Decatur and
Sandoval, IL at a proper speed. It's just too boring for 55 mph! It'll
be way cooler a couple thousand feet in the air.
