Eclipse

Lots of stuff I could comment on this morning:

• Texans beat New England this weekend. OK - it's pre-season, but we beat them!
• Black activist/comedian Dick Gregory died. (Define comedian)
• Comedian Jerry Lewis died. (Define comedian)
• UT removed a bunch of Confederate Statues (and one of Governor Jim Hogg) overnight. That one ought be worth a couple of posts.
• Another Navy ship was in a wreck with a commercial vessel - this time it was the USS John McCain. (Named for the father of the Senator from Arizona)

But the big story today has to be the eclipse of the Sun.

The map shows the path of totality, and where the view of the eclipse may be hindered by cloud cover.  I post it because I have a friend and former coworker who drove from the Dallas area to Missouri to be in the path of totality.  Looks like he should have driven to Nashville, or, better yet, just stayed home.
