No--not what your thinking. Another neat astronomy moment tonight at sunset. If you have clear skies get your kids away from their electronic games and have them take a look.

Sounds pretty cool. I will be deep into a hockey game tonight, but I might try to check it out today around lunch. Article says you will be able to see it today during the day due to its brightness.

Can you please go stare at the sun until your retinas are burnt to a crisp? TIA.

We all stopped when my kids pointed it out leaving the restaurant last night. Very nice.

So PSU fan goes Dinsdale over my use of your instead you're. If I was a kid with an English lit term paper, I'd post it here and have you guys make the corrections.

You'd have to - with teachers like you around, you'd have to look elsewhere for help with grammar.

Word! I've never witnessed insults and nasty exchanges over such trivial things as grammar and sentence structure such as I've seen here. I find it entertaining as hell!
