The Eclipse

 And now, for something NOT Buna related.......

Monday, April 8th, a little after 1PM we will have an eclipse cross the USA. 

This is not a new phenomena. 

We have a Member of Congress going around posting on X or Twitter or whatever it is to " Repent." ( She included the earthquake in New Jersey/New York in her Twitter. )

Astrologers are jumping up and down claiming this will led to " Big changes in America." And I am not sure if they are good or if they are bad. 

We have an eclipse every 18 months cross the earth at some point on the globe. 

We have 1700 earthquakes in America each year, about 4 a day.  ( Learned this in Old Dr. Tennyson's Geology and Dr. Arnow's Geography classes back in the 1970s.....It is still 1700 per year in the U.S.)

When Columbus visited Jamaica he asked the Indians on the island for food to make the trip back to Europe. They told him "No" saying they needed the food for the non-growing season in order to survive. He knew there was an eclipse coming in 1504 and told the Indians if they did not give him food, he would block out the sun. When it did, it induced the peoples of the island to gave him food to return home....Columbus was not a nice person in general, he often provided his crew native girls as sex slaves, some under the age of 10.

( BTW- I've been to Jamaica. Sucked, sucked bad. Might be the worst island in the Caribbean.Then again, I wouldn't be going to Haiti either. Go to St. Martin or Barbados....Then again, you might not want to go to St. Martin( Half French, half Dutch) to keep your husband from getting all "tuned-up" at the topless beaches.   )

But, I digress. 

So, being the idiot I am and seeing how this might be our last eclipse, we are going to 'The Farm' in NE Texas hoping the clouds break and we might get a glimpse of the eclipse.  We're carrying supplies with us. I hope the traffic doesn't kill us. ( We got to go anyway, time to check on everything, switch from winter to summer flush all the anti-freeze in the pipes, crank everything, mow, go down to the pond and hope to catch a few white perch rather than bass, so much better fried.....)

So, Buna behave I won't blog over the next few days, I need to break, heck, you need a break, heck, even the district needs a break......
