Thanks Ohioancincy for the info. I thought you might get a full eclispe since you are farther west.

Will Alaska get to see the total eclipse or just a partial? Im in the north central part of Tx and will only get to see the partial. Most likely I will stay in and just watch it on Tv. It:is not suppose to happen till about 7:23 I think is what the news said. Oh well all have a good day.

I haven't noticed anything in the news about the connection between the unusually large full moon half a month ago and the fact that the moon will not cover the sun entirely in today's solar eclipse. The full moon was large because the moon in its elliptical orbit was at the closest point to the earth. Half a month later, it is therefore at its farthest from us, and looking unusually small compared to the disk of the sun, so small that it cannot completely cover the sun.

Wow, It's been a long time since you have been on here TL551, it's great to hear from you again, I really don't get on here much anymore myself, but I always stop in every morning to read all the commends, I hope all is well with you and you are rocking in your new position, take care, and to everyone else I hope that you all are doing great and that all is well, even though I'm not here much you are all in my thoughts and prayers always. Be safe and enjoy your long days. Enjoy your long days,

Cold air or eater makes my hands & feel goes in pins and needles So as far as the pump that co st $450 if I damage it. so I will stay out of the water. take God bless you & my arctic friends

BF I use artificial flies. I use the kind that sink. First I get my hip waders on then go in the lake and stasrt to throw the line out as possible then with my rt. hand I start to pull the line in with slight jerks of the line .it gives the fish a desire to go after the fly cause they think it is a minnow. You do aloit of castin and retreving of the line. To me it is fun especially when the fish hit the fly . it depends on what kind of fish that yo catch to give you the pleasure of retrivin the

Theo, how do you fish for flies? What kind of bait do you use trying to catch them? I used to do some ice fishing but they always melted before I got them home. Actually after not doing any fishing for a number of years I've been thinking of taking it up again. BTW, the best way to find the best fishin' holes is to drive around during the middle of the week. That's when the retired guys go fishin' and they know the best places to go. So if you only have weekends off then you know where to go.

Tried complaining to legislators about being two hours too fast. Response was commerce rules the day. Pushing us closer to the lower states means more overlapping work hours; EST 4 hrs now, old was just 2. Juneau used to run on PST (120 WMT), so 2 hours ahead of old AST (150 WMT). That gave 8-12_1-5 office workers just 5 hours to phone the main population areas. Forcing us into the same clock setting has most state workers available to each other all workday long.
