  1. Was just joking. DIVH was by far my fave ULA rocket.
  2. Interesting. Wife and daughter are pretty fluent. Son and I... both took it, but not our best thing.
  3. At least in Morocco English is like the 4th language you get hassled in... French, then Italian/Spanish (depends on where), then even German before English. Never done a cruise at all. Probably cheaper than renting a boat (with a skipper)—or learning to sail better, and just renting the boat.
  4. Sorry for your loss.
  5. Saves on anniversary gifts, since they can only be given on eclipse years.
  6. built in 15 min hold. WHY have a countdown timer with built in hold like this? Just make this T-19 min, and keep counting.
  7. coverage in 2 hours
  8. In the car, we’re talking about other events I have seen that are in the same league. For celestial stuff, this is orders of magnitude more impressive than anything else I’ve seen. If there were someday a really bright, naked eye comment that might be in kind of the same league. Maybe. For other natural stuff? Seeing the Himalayas. That reset my scale for mountains. Seeing wildlife on the African savanna reset my notions about animals.
  9. Yeah, my image Pictures really don’t do it justice. Maybe if you’re a really phenomenal photographer, and it’s near sunrise or sunset so that the eclipse is near terrain so you can compose something really amazing you could get one 1000th of it in a picture. Hearing the collective gasps and “oh my God!” in the park was pretty amazing In short, go to Spain in 2026.
  10. In their infinite wisdom, Oklahoma decided to block the right lane of I 40 with their version of traffic barriers. Not cones but something else. For no reason. No equipment nothing torn up the road was fine and it took us over an hour to go 10 miles.
  11. Had thought about broken bow ok… trying to stay as easy as possible for RTB to albuquerque since son has not only school, but “grandparents day,” and grandma is showing up Gonna be a 12+ hour straight drive 16 counting getting to path from here
  12. Rush hour in abq means it takes 10 min longer… crowded I-25 moving 40 for a while instead of 80
