Thanks, Locutus.  Still trying to find my way around here!
Welcome AbbyTC, and thanks Locutus.  I'm still waiting for some good stuff from Pluto. Have been so busy I haven't been following what may be available right now.

"You've probably noticed that opinion pollsters go out of their way to include as many morons as possible in surveys ... I think it's dangerous to inform morons about what their fellow morons are thinking. It only reinforces their opinions. And the one thing worse than a moron with an opinion is lots of them." -- Scott Adams

In other words: Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  ;)

Yesterday morning just before daylight I went out to get the newspaper, and a neighbor was standing there looking up at the sky. He was using opera glasses and said he wondered what was going on at Ft. Belvoir, that helicopters seemed to be  hovering around something that was not moving. I looked up and saw what he was referring to -- a small light just above the horizon. And there was the sound of 'copters . I said maybe it was a training exercise at FB or maybe a traffic monitoring 'copter and went back in because I was getting ready to leave. (I'd been watching the news and there had been no mention of anything amiss in the area).

This morning, when I went out to get the paper and out of habit looked up, there was the light again, and it  :rolleyes: dawned on me that it was the planet Jupiter, which rises a few minutes after  6 a.m. this time of year.

It's cloudy here today. Just hope the clouds part long enough for us to see it!  My house sits east/west so will be able to sit on my front steps and watch as the moon rises.  :yes:

Same here. I suspect the cloud cover will remain thick, as it has for most of this day.

Mostly sunny today, but the clouds started rolling in quite thickly in the evening.  Doesn't look promising for tonight.

The clouds broke up just in time last night. It was beautiful! And I'm here this morning writing about it so it's safe to say the nutjobs were wrong!

It remained too cloudy here but my ex SIL in the southern part of the state got to view it.

Well, over here on the other side of the Potomac River, the clouds came and went, and parted enough for me to keep up with the beginning and progression of the eclipse until there was just a tiny sliver of moon left. Then another cloud obscured it and when it passed, all was dark.
