This weekend! The further west you are the more eclipsed the sun will appear.

Gotta find my welding goggles.... I'll only see a small partial ast dusk but it's still cool.

I got to experience a full eclipse when I was a kid in Winnipeg. Really cool event.  8)

Thanks for the tip.

I still remember the one immortalized in song by Carly Simon.
Any time is a good time for pie.

You just think she wrote that song about you.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

We likely won't be able to see it.

But we will be able to see the Total Eclipse of the Heart.

Fun side note, Bonnie Tyler also sang this about 40Cent.

Will it be obstructed by the clouds in my coffee?

I walked right into that one, like I was walking onto a yacht.
