Saw the solar eclipse yesterday. Drove a total of 6 hours, but it was spectacular.

For a laugh, from another perspective:

If a man is alone in the woods where no woman can hear him, is he still wrong?

We drove about the same, I wasn’t expecting much but boy was I wrong, I can’t describe the feelings that I felt at totality. Wow, funny joke by the way.

Good joke. Thanks.
Drove 10 hours to Oregon, then Sunday drove another 1-1/2 hours east to get away from smoke and high clouds near Redmond and Madras. Monday drove another hour on washboard dirt roads still searching for clear skies. Eventually climbed a good hill on the south side of the John Day River and had a spectacular view up and down the entire valley and clear skies. It was so magical, watching the black descend on the valley below, seeing light on the horizon, then the diamond, then BAM the totally eclipsed sun. Wow.

To his surprise, the old man plays quickly. He doesn’t hit the ball very far, but it goes straight. Furthermore, the old man moves along without wasting any time.

When they reach the 9th fairway, the young man is facing a tough shot. A large pine tree sits in front of his ball, directly between it and the green.

After several minutes pondering how to hit the shot, the old man says, “You know, when I was your age, I’d hit the ball right over that tree.”

With the challenge before him, the young man swings hard, hits the ball, watches it fly into the branches, rattle around, and land with a thud a foot from where it had started.

“Of course,” says the old man, “when I was your age, that tree was only three feet tall.”

I wanted to avoid blindness so I waited until night to watch the eclipse
It sure was dark for a long time!

I hope I can see it in 7 yrs. I really want to see the stars. However, every time I want to see a great meteor shower...cloudy. Where am I? North of Philly and...cloudy. so, maybe I won’t mess it up for thousands and I will just enjoy watching it and everyone else on media.
