For us the sun was behind an office tower, anyways (this time of year, the sun disappears for ca. an hour behind it).
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

This eclipse is just terrible. It's so cloudy it didn't even get noticeably darker.

Same.

Ditto.

And of course three hours later, it's nice and sunny here.  :mad:

Reading a book about daily life in 2nd century AD Roman Empire from Britain to Mesopotamia, from Augusta Treverorum to Leptis Magna. Decent reading, and the author keeps drawing parallels to modern life to make things a bit easier to understand which is to be expected in this kind of book which is aimed at a lay readership.

Then, suddenly, in a chapter about Alexandria, and its diversity in people: "It's like visting an Outer Rim planet in Star Wars." :nerd: And no, there were no Star Wars comparisons before that.
Awesome! :nerd:

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Well, I'm back from a two-week vacation crawling over Mayan pyramids in Chiapas. Anyone notice I was gone?  :D

It was kind of odd that you didn't post in the thread about a new species of stroller-shaped beetles, now that you mention it.

It was awesome. Truly a great experience, especially for Carl - now that he's 9, he's likely to remember it.  :) I'll put up a seperate trip thread ...

A woman in Colorado lured a pregnant woman into her house then cut out her fetus. The mother lived.

The DA is pondering a murder charge.  Under CO law it is murder if the fetus drew one breath outside the womb.
