Ok, thumbing through things and I come across the Kimmel/stormy interview last night.

Not political stuff here: She says she is concerned about her child reading on the internet that his/her mom is a man, but no issues about pulling up anything about porn???? Maybe since I've never been one, I don't understand, but to me that would be a little more concerning.
 
This and this. We missed out on the solar eclipse due to clouds, too. My oldest was like, "My kids will ask me about these someday and I will have to say I couldn't see them."
Before the eclipse started the sky was clear and the moon looked good. As it got lower the clouds started to obscure it. It made an appearance with about 1/4 remaining and I tried to get a shot. I used aperture mode as they said at f9 (they said use f8 or higher) Picture came out awful. 20 second exposure and it came out overexposed. My first time trying aperture mode so maybe if the sky is clear tonight I'll experiment.

2024 is another solar eclipse in the US so you have another chance.

Shoot, forgot about it this morning. Was up early since daughter had to go in for pitching, I had it in the back of my mind that there was something else but couldn't remember. Isn't the next one of these in like 150 years. Maybe we will get the Kempt answer then also.
 
The other night the wife and I went in to coach youth basketball for the youngest son's group. Door on the south was locked but with a wife as a teacher, we have keys. She has handed me the keys a few times and after 3-4 uses, I know what key unlocks the door. She has worked at this school for the full 15 years or so it has been built and had the same keys. I have spent all 15 years watching her use every key on the key chain to get the door unlocked. You may ask why I don't tell her which key when she starts, I will point out that everyone who asked is also a wife.

If I were to tell my wife which key to use, she'd probably use that one last and then ask me why I told her the wrong key.

Jan 20 2019 is the next total lunar eclipse visible in North America. It will be at a much more reasonable time. About 8:30pm

Well.......TIL learned that my blood type makes it more likely for me to have heart issues. It also makes it tougher to get good wood when older, would think those would be the opposite.

That's pretty awesome!

How are you doing? I haven't been able to get to class.

I have not lost anything more weight wise but may have lost another inch or so. That or MrsWx was just trying to build me up saying she is still seeing improvement.
