We are way out of the zone, sadly, for the eclipse. But! I should look up whether the local observatory has any events this summer.
EDIT: They do! And they are awesome!
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Probably doing the pinhole thing to see it, is that effective for annular?
Yes, I think so.

I remember a SF story in Analog back in the 70s/80s called "Jill the Giant Killer" where they used tac nukes to disrupt giant tornados. What a brave new world we used to live in.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
We're under the annular path, but just barely. So we're throwing the telescope in the car and heading a bit north to one of our school locations, where we'll do pinhole stuff with the students, and then watch through the scope. (When lori told us it was happening on fb, we went out and bought the solar filter, which has been no end of fun already. Sunspots!)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That was smart buying the filter, Liese! I just realized today that that was an option but I think it's too late to get anything before Sunday.
