The middle Florida Keys are supposed to have the clearest night skies in the USA. I can believe that. I was in Key Marathon overnight a few years ago and we went to the bridge where we had a SPECTACULAR view of the night sky.
One good thing about having extreme Eclipse Anxiety on behalf of Charles is that it keeps my mind off food. On Saturday, following a final Friday night gorging at the Chow One Korean Steakhouse buffet, I began my extreme diet to lose at least 20 pounds before my April 27 cruise. Saturday wasn’t bad since I was still stuffed from the night before but yesterday I had real hunger pangs. Right now I have those hunger pangs again but not too bad due to the Eclipse Anxiety.
The night sky is very clear here in rural Eastern Calif near the Nevada border where I live and the stars and Milky Way are quite bright, almost like you could reach out and touch them.
