And what about the fact that the Moon is turning at just the right speed so that it always presents the same face to the Earth? Coincidence?

I have seen the Halley’s Comet in 1986. The next time around is 2062.

This coming Total Eclipse of America last came around in 1918.

Therefore, the two events that define generations will have come during my lifetime.

NEXT!!

People from all over the world have traveled to take in this 3 minutes of existence in a very congested area. Me & Mrs 21 are packing a nice lunch with plenty of munchies and water and are not forgetting our personal weapons and I am throwing the bug out bag in the trunk as well.

I know we WILL have an enjoyable experience.

I do need to say I was totally miserable the day of the eclipse. Best description would be a severe migraine and I can't tell you the last time I had a headache. The Misses had to drag me out of bed to the outdoors, my brother was in reserve had she needed him.

I am so glad she did. It wasn't just the Moon in front of the Sun it was everything around. You had to experience it and TV wouldn't do it justice.

I later found out quite a few people with my medical condition, Cerebral AVM, had similar experiences. The Moon and Sun can truly move you.
