Yeah, I have seen a lot cooler astronomical moments than this. It was only 86% covered here. Didn't get very dark at all. Glad I only spent a grand total of $2 (for two pairs of viewing glasses) on it. On with the rest of the day.

well, of course, you can't be an idiot about it.

I don't burn from like may to late September. But...you can't take them all away. Slowly stripping away land of the free. Campfires on the range and in the hills is Americana. Fire is nearly as old as upright walking.

2 dogs down! a double! I pulled my traps yesterday but left 2 on the dirt field road where there was some sign still active. Snagged 2 coyotes this morning. Beautiful, full pad, front paw catches. Picture perfect, I paint a perfect picture...precision.

claims are time and money and draw attention and scrutiny to you. I bet there's some bacon grease soaked sponges distributed across the ranges

If claims are time and money and draw attention and scrutiny, then what’s fussing the gummint?
