Northwestern Vermont. There is lots and lots of great beer here in Vermont. Unfortunately, also lots and lots of clouds. I believe we are the 2nd cloudiest state in the nation. Got an outside faucet and a hose, if you leave it in the sun all day you'll have plenty of hot water. Is it too early to put out the balloons?

I just looked at the map for the solar eclipse in April 2024... my hometown in dead center in the path of totality! So it will probably be completely overcast.

what a crappy day. Been 70 Hrs since I was here last. Had about 5 hours of sleep in that time. waited almost 76 years to see a full solar eclipse. Dozed off just as it was starting. woke up at the tail end. Guess I'm gonna have to tough it out for another 99 years to see one. AAAAAAAARGH!!!!

Greig, did you see my post with the zircon crystal, didya didya? Just a little bit was peeking out from the matrix when I found it, which was why I think it had been overlooked. It's a good sized one. Also found small pieces of sodalite and some other goodies, but no amazonite. You should definitely check out the pile if you're nearby.

Did anyone get their favorite rocks and crystals out to bathe in the mystical powers of the eclipse shadow? Well, not exactly, but I did COLLECT rocks in the eclipse shadow. Some cool ones that I had never seen before in this area.

On two occassions, cars I was driving have been struck while I was stuck in traffic. Not a damn thing I could do about it. The second time was in broad daylight. My car is bright red! Fire-engine red!
My mother's car was totaled while we were waiting in traffic. I don't know what the driver was doing, but I suspect texting. Drove right into us on a straightaway. She was doing about 45 mph and never even saw us. They picked up the car pieces with a shovel and broom.
The next time someone runs into me for no good reason, I am going to go up to their car and ask, "Are you OK?" If they say "yes", I will slap them across the head and ask, "How about now?"

Thanks, Chuck. My next question: How do I copy and paste? You see, I am a technological idiot.

Can someone explain to me (in very small steps) how to actually post pictures from Flickr to here?
