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

    I was only joking

      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.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              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.

                Don’t have them outbhere, so it’s a
                matter of tomato vs toemato or potato vs potaeta.

                  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.

                    Some fucker will pipe up in a minute and say 'back in medieval times everybody in England sounded exactly like John Wayne, you know!'

                                          Total eclipses are seen every 18 months on some part of the globe.

                                          https://www.space.com/25644-total-solar-eclipses-frequency-explained.html

                                          How is it then that only when eclipses are to be seen somewhere in North America that the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse hearld the event? Ridiculous superstition still governs the minds of many.
