Total Solar Eclipses in the U.S. for the next few Years...

Looks like two good total eclipses are coming our way in 2017 & 2045..and right over Dennis's head in St.Louis! We are all heading down to Dennis's place, and pitch our tents on his front lawn and drinking his booze...so say the maurading Chicago Astronomers!

You know, by the time 2008 rolls around, I plan on having money, and more free time, as I get my degree at the end of the year and will start my career as a...well, I don't know yet.

I go on road trips as often as I can. I don't see why I couldn't convince Claire and some friends of mine to go up to northern Canada in 2008 to see a total solar eclipse.

Remember, it isn't the destination that is important, it is the journey. It may seem silly to drive up that far to look at the sun for 6 minutes, but to me it is riduclous to pass up the excuse not to.

I am serious.
