Total Eclipse of the Moon - Tonight!

Tonight show begins around 6:45 with a total eclipse, lasting about an hour, occuring at about 8:00 PM.  These times are for here in the West.  The local forecast where I live predicts clouds, so I might not get to see it.  You’ll see the full moon darken to red as the earth blocks direct sunlight to the moon’s surface.  So many of us have been complaining about cabin fever this late in a long winter.  Lets get out then, and enjoy the majesty of nature tonight.

Backyard Luge Run

My Nephew has built backyard luges for several years.  Some are long and loopy.  Some have interior rooms and tunnels the track runs through.  This year he went for altitude!  Check it out here.
