dear robert: i'm so glad that the link was of use... it was a bit cloudy here in south texas during the prime time to view tonight, but i still caught a glimpse and it was very beautiful. hope it is/was clearer in other areas for anyone out there looking up in the sky!

Dear Emmy,

I'm sorry to say that our area is also rather cloudy because of recent storms: My view of the eclipse was also less than perfect. But it the clouds did seem to have a red hue to them--I guess that was a sign of the eclipse taking place. Oh well. Maybe 2010?

All the best,

Robert
