Not likely to be visable out here on the west coast, what with all the rain we are having. Perhaps you can ask it to come around again at some later date. Thanks!

The government will probably fuck it up. The free market would provide a better and cheaper eclipse.

The eclipse is a zionist conspiracy orchestrated by the Illuminati in cooperation with the reptiles. Don't be a sheep.

Is it a lunar or solar eclipse?

LOL!

Lunar, my friend. Lunar.

The moon is going to be frolicking in the shadow of the Earth.

Yeah, I just checked the weather and discovered I'm not losing anything by being out of my home state at the moment. At least it's above freezing here in MO.

Strangely enough , it is 37 here , must be colder in the atmosphere . Warmest I can remember in awhile.

It's spectacularly clear and crisp here, with the fat beautiful moon glowing brightly and no light pollution to screw things up :D Hell, you can't even see some of the stars because of the brightness of the moon tonight. Should be a really pretty eclipse.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, rub it in, why don't ya??? Grrr....


Kidding!! I glad you're going to have a spectacular view of the eclipse. Really! Really I am!
I'm not even TEMPTED to neg rep you for being so cruel and taunting. Not tempted a bit, not
at all, not really.... I'll be smiling for you as I'm gazing at the cold, cloudy skies tonight. Yeah,
smiling! Smiling, as the tears streak my face and the cold wind blows the grit and dust into my
eyes as I vainly attempt to get even the faintest view of this spectacular celestial phenomenon....



So sad... so sad.... so sad....

If I have the chance, my battle cry will be:

I've never seen a lunar eclipse before, so I'm pretty stoked about tonight. I think it'll be fairly clear here in the Charlotte area.

I did once get to see the rare occurance of a solar eclipse shortly before sunset over the Pacific Ocean.

Missed it! They said it was going to be cloudy, so I slept, and whaddya know, it was clear as hell when I woke up this morning and of course it was all over.
