Fall

Total Solar Eclipse - Aug 21, 2017

The path cuts through Oregon, and I intend to be there.

I hope it's not cloudy. I'm heading to central Oregon to use the Cascades as a cloud deflector. Somewhere between Warm Spring and Madras on Highway 26 should do the job. 

Equinox - Fall - Yogi

What's better on the day of equal day and equal night than to dredge up a simply awful monster movie from 1970? It has monsters, imperiled teenagers, and a book of power. Sweet.  

Happy first day of Fall.

Sadly, however, we say goodbye to the immortal Yogi Berra who passed away today after 90 amazing years. I love Yogi's message to President Obama on this famous picture of Jackie Robinson stealing home on Berra in the World Series.

Ahhhh... Friday.

A little beauty.
