4. i'll miss it

unless i do some traveling.
it's hard to even think that far ahead. on one hand, i could be retired and living a great life back in CA. on the other hand, i could still be sitting at this same desk, working, reading DU when i should be working. on the third hand, i could be dead by then.

certainly cheney should be.

5. I'll have to figure out where on that map will likely have good weather. nt

6. Just about anywhere in Oregon or Idaho should have great weather that time of year.

7. But, but, won't the world have been ended for 5 years by then?

The eclipse will just sweep through empty space. ;-)

8. Hmmm, if no one is here to see it, will it actually happen?

9. Neat.

Looks like it'll hit the Oregon coast at about 10:15 local time and leave the South Carolina coast an hour and a half later.

10. Been waiting for fourteen years already

I first became aware of this eclipse back in 1997. What's another six years?
