1. 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…

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

3. 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.”

5. 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.

8. 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.

10. “Is anyone else feeling cheated by the finale of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” yesterday?”

    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.
