Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 3,205 Missouri Any cool eclipse stories yet? I'm doing the let the light shine through a nail hole in a piece of paper thing. 6:00 p.m. Tucson - I can see the beginnings of the moon's shadow creeping into the sun's path from the upper right hand side. Beauty's where you find it. Not just where you bump and grind it.

About a quarter of the sun is covered - and like a good comic book fan I had to run inside because I started getting Bruce Gordon paranoid. Beauty's where you find it.
