    Never cared for Kansas either. I was looking for another song by that name but not the Metallica one.

    There's a lady from LSU, repping purple shirt, on NASA TV right now! She is involved with balloons studying the eclipse.

    I am an astronomical kind of guy, but I can't believe how the hype of this thing has gone. The only corona I care about is one that's ice cold, with a line.

    I think it's neat. Those that don't, don't. I got to see a partial eclipse earlier through somebody's glasses. Like I said, i thought it was neat.

    The ambient light was a little less but I probably wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't known about the eclipse. Bah, humbug.

    I too saw the partial through someone's glasses. It was neat. But I thought it was cooler seeing it go dark on the TV for the people who were in Oregon
