Thank you enterprikayak. Around here the beginning of the eclipse was clouded out. Towards the end I went out to check again. It was TOTALLY clear. Well, seeing how cold it was, I was happy to view it vicariously online. Isn't that Lame?

But I've already been to one Winter Star Party this week:

And would someone explain to me how blowing up a fuel tank full of toxic chemicals high in the atmosphere is any better than risking it coming down somewhere, populated or not? :? I could see blowing it up just to make sure no one else could use anything from it, but they're trying to say it was more environmentally friendly that way?



Cool video of the direct hit:

If the fuel combusts, it doesn't exist anymore as a toxic fuel, right?

Too cloudy and too early in the morning for me to see the eclipse here.

These photos are lovely, thanks, HR. :thumbsup:
Working on a major fan fic project. Two-thirds done. Hope to put it up in the not TOO distant future.

I agree! :D
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four

And here is the beginning of the whole story.

But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.
