      Jewish friend asked me a very funny legal question: “Can you break your Ramadan fast during the eclipse since technically it gets dark?”

      I had to hand it to him, I didn’t think of that.

          It's about 50% obscured here now. Where the heck are the illuminati? They're cutting it awful fine.

            Lol

            They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

                    Actually, that's how it was pronounced in "Slow Horses."

                    But they're British, so we can forgive them. They're won't to add irregular letters, you know.

                      Pretty sure it’s pronounced cicahda in the parts of this country where they occur.

                        I took 271 photos of it today from my back patio.

                        89.1% Partial Eclipse. Decided to stay home this time.
                        Canon 50D on a fixed tripod w/18-200mm Zoom at 200mm f5.6 1/1600 sec exposures, ISO 100. Baader Planitarium Solar Film Filter.

                        271 photos aligned, registered and output to avi movie format using PIPP (Planetary Imaging Pre-Processor)
                        It's not perfect, but it's still pretty cool.

                          Americans correcting the British on their pronounciation is nothing new.
