Mother Nature giveth and Mother Nature taketh away.

On Monday, April 8, 2024 there will be a total solar eclipse across North America from Mexico, across Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, through to Canada.

At this point there’s good news and bad news. The bad news is that the weather forecasts are predicting cloud cover and rain for a significant radius from us. The good news is that weather forecasts this far out aren’t very accurate. We’re crossing our fingers.

Meanwhile, we practice. The Sun this afternoon:
