I'm not going to see totality here, but chances are at least even that due to clouds, we will not see any of it.

By the by, a company in Mashfield, WI, was the only company that knew how to make plywood suitable for DeHavillands purposes, so Wisconsin is the source of all of those Mosquitos. They also proided the birch plywood for the Hughes Kaiser H-4 Hercules. All the wood involved came from Wood and Juneau Counties. I spent most of my life in Mauston, the County Seat of Juneau County. The Mosquitos and the H-4 explain why I never saw a big pine tree, nor a big birch tree when I was growing up!

Nothing. Makes my heart sing it does.<br /><br />Eclipses, meh. While I was fascinated by them in the days of my youth, these days I find wonder in all things natural. An eclipse, while neat, doesn't quite fill me with awe like the feel of a boat under my feet, the wind in what's left of my hair, and the mournful cry of a seagull.<br /><br />But if it happened here, that would be cool. Would I travel to see one? Nope.<br /><br />But that's just me.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.com
