Random quote: "Swords, Lances, arrows, machine guns, and even high explosives have had far less power over the fates of nations than the typhus louse, the plague flea, and the yellow-fever mosquito. Civilizations have retreated from the plasmodium of malaria, and armies have crumbled into rabbles under the onslaught of cholera spirilla, or of dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Huge areas have been devastated by the trypanosome that travels on the wings of the tsetse fly, and generations have been harassed by the syphilis of a courtier. War and conquest and that herd existence which is an accompaniment of what we call civilization have merely set the stage for these more powerful agents of human tragedy." ― Hans Zinsser, Rats, Lice and History

I have my glasses from the last eclipse. The report was that it wouldn't be very good over my house last time so my wife and I loaded up and drove over to Illinois. We found an abandoned graveyard and set up on a hillside. Of course, an isolated rain storm cam in and obscured everything! Come to find out, everyone at home had a perfect view! I'll try not to screw it up this time!

Location: Great Lakes, USA		Once again, I am not in the path of totality but am close enough to drive to it. Not sure that will happen, but I will watch the partial with my telescope which has a lense for observing the sun.

It's incredible how sometimes the unexpected can happen, like the isolated rainstorm, just when you're hoping for a perfect view. But hey, at least you have a memorable experience to look back on, right?
