This is a test, a test of your blog reading habits (and your degree of Caldwell Craziness). There is an eclipse happening Wednesday night early (you don't have to get up at 3 AM) and it is the last one until Dec. 21, 2010. That means your young kids will be going to MIA or having you wishing they were. And your teenagers will be planning their weddings or how to run away from home, its hard to say if there is any difference.
From the Jackson Hole Star-Tribune:
"The partial eclipse will begin at 6:43 p.m. when the moon's eastern edge slowly moves in the Earth's umbral shadow. Wednesday's totality will last just under 50 minutes before the moon passes out of the Earth's shadow from the opposite side.
"Totality will begin at about 8 p.m. and end at about 8:50 p.m."
And since this is a Jackson paper, the times are in mountain time, not eastern time. And since it is still winter, you Arizona people won't have to worry if you have been annexed (or is it annexxed, I can never remember whether you double up the xx's or not, at least you don't triple them) into California for another summer.
So take your kids out and enjoy it while you still can. This may be the opportunity of a lifetime (OK, they happen every couple of years, but they are still fun).
