We're going to have a few days of rain starting today.

That said, we had a thunderstorm with downpour this morning and its been quite reasonable since. Hazy blue sky with hazy sun. I can live with that

My problem isn't with country music, and not even with Hank. It's that horrible, stupid, piece of crap song. Can you picture someone with talent, like Steve Earle or Garth Brooks, ever putting their name on something that bad?

Total solar eclipse to pass through 15 U.S. states in rare celestial event - UPI.com

People living in at least 15 U.S. states are able to view a rare total solar eclipse Monday, the first in seven years and last for two decades.
www.upi.com www.upi.com

The total eclipse will begin as the sun comes up over the Pacific Ocean and first be visible in the continental United States in Bell County, Texas at 1:27 p.m. CDT, culminating in Maine at 3:35 p.m. EDT.

People living along the path of the total solar eclipse will be able to view the cosmic event for 2 to 4 minutes, but will need to use protective eyewear to do so.

Millions of others will be able to see a partial solar eclipse, depending on local weather conditions at the time.

It will just be a partial eclipse in my area.

San Antonio, Austin and Dallas are some of the biggest cities in Texas that fall in the path of the total eclipse. Little Rock, Indianapolis, Cleveland and Buffalo are the other urban centers that are best positioned to see the rare astronomical event.

Interesting that it goes straight through the heart of Texas.

Texas has not seen a total solar eclipse for 146 years, causing authorities to declare a state of emergency in some areas ahead of an expected massive influx of tourists. State officials in Bell County, Texas are bracing for a surge of onlookers along a 480-mile stretch of road directly in the path of the total solar eclipse.

For those who aren't able to travel to see the eclipse in person, NASA will live stream the event. The three-hour program will showcase the eclipse from several different locations.

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station will also showcase science experiments related to the eclipse during the NASA live stream.

The agency is also offering a "no-commentary, telescope-only feed" of the event on its YouTube channel, starting at 1 p.m. CDT Monday.

In another science-related move, NASA will follow the entirety of the eclipse path using jets. The move will collect data on the sun and Earth's atmosphere.

The space administration will affix spectrometers and other instruments to its WB-57 twin-engined reconnaissance aircraft to help make observations of the sun's corona and Earth's atmosphere. The planes first entered service with the U.S. Air Force in 1953 and are part of NASA's high-altitude research program.

Monday's eclipse "provides scientists a unique opportunity to study this mysterious region of the sun," NASA said in a recent blog post.

Well, to each his own. Some people may like it, some not. The YouTube commenters had a lot of praise for the song.

I'm not putting it on here, because I don't wanna get banned, but look up Community Property by Steel Panther. Listen very closely to the lyrics.

Nope, I won't do it and you can't make me..... but mostly because I am being silly and don't really care... but I did read the lyrics and since I have no idea what this applies to outside of the Raven songs I posted to be silly..... why does this make a difference to me... I don't listen to any country music and the only Hank Williams Jr song I know is attitude adjustment.....
