That last link is particularly relevant to my experience of chasing an eclipse back in May of 1994. We took our junior high daughter out of school and drove 12 hours a day, to minimize how much school she'd be missing, to Roswell, New Mexico to see a total eclipse. All we saw was rain. In fact, the rain was so heavy that the highway leading into town was flooded and needed a highway patrol escort. --- On Sun, 7/25/10, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> wrote: From: Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Astronomy funnies To: "utah astronomy utah astronomy listserve" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Date: Sunday, July 25, 2010, 1:42 AM For those who may not have seen these in the paper recently: http://comics.com/Peanuts/2010-7-12 http://comics.com/Peanuts/2010-7-13 http://comics.com/Peanuts/2010-7-14 http://comics.com/Peanuts/2010-7-15 http://comics.com/Peanuts/2010-7-16 http://comics.com/Peanuts/2010-7-17 http://www.chron.com/apps/comics/showComick.mpl?date=20100724&name=Pardon_My... patrick :) _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
