Well, are you??
We are lucky to be right in the path for the best view so I thought it would be great for the kids to check it out.
I'm thinking of having an eclipse party but I need to find glasses for everyone.

Boatn, did you see a total eclipse with the ring of fire? Down in SD, we never saw that. the moon entered the sun at about the 5:00 position and got to a cresent sun, then moved up and then over so it was dippign down right on top of it, then the sun went down faster and we gave up.

Yep, it was right in the middle! Well, a teeny bit off center but the whole moon was inside the ring of the sun. It was amazing. My son really enjoyed watching it!
Sorry you weren't able to see more of it.
What happened to your zoom-zoom?

I've noticed that in this car, the AC compressor comes on when the heater is on so I can see why that may not be helpful afterall. Sorry but glad that's all the damage there was!

o my lil bro tried to explain the the cracked thermostate and losing coolant issue is what caused the heater issue (nto the other way around). So that should be fixed now. The A/C going off an on must be a separate issue though...just coincidence in timing I guess. Will have to try it all out when I get my baby back after work.
