TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN

If you live anywhere in North America, don't you dare schedule anything else for this day (excepting weddings, reunions, and vacations.)

THIS IS IT. A total eclipse of the sun that runs smack through the middle of the USA. Plan a car trip, bus ride, or plane trip to the narrow strip of Earth stretching from Salem, OR through to Nashville, TN in which the sun will *completely disappear* for two minutes. (Notmany large cities are in the path of the totality, so make your reservations early if you want to observe it from the comfort of civilization.)
