Meteorologist Jacob Dickey of WCIA Channel 3, Champaign, Illinois, made a graphic showing when to start playing Pink Floyd’s album Dark side of the Moon to time it with the eclipse. See his Facebook page for a better explanation. Long story short…
I’m at my aunt’s farm, about an hour east of Carbondale. Is anyone in Carbondale? What’s the crowd/parking like there? (It’s quiet out here (banned punctuation).)
Jacob is a former student of mine. This young man wanted to be a meteorologist before he was even school age. There are videos of him when he was in grade school doing weather reports. I am so happy he made his dream come true he was a really neat kid.

It’s busy down here in the 618… something about the sun or something.

Is anyone else feeling cheated by the finale of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” yesterday?
To a significant degree, the episode recycled the much maligned finale of “Seinfeld.”

Coincidentally my leave leaves Chicago about the time of the eclipse. I am going to attempt a few photos from the air if we oriented properly.

Was glad it had a happy ending, unlike some other seasons. The show had a pretty strong Illinois link, with the late Shelley Berman and Jeff Garlin.

Did not feel cheated at all. I thought it was hilarious and well done.
