Stranger.

When it was the maximum time for the eclipse, of course it started raining. So we ran under the gazebo in the town park. It rained for about two minutes. smiley - rofl

There were two bikers there who'd ridden over from a nearby town, so as soon as the sun came back out, we shared our eclipse glasses with them. (NASA-approved, of course.) a pair of ladies came by with a little boy, and we showed them the shadow box and let them look through the glasses. So one of the women helped me with the photo. smiley - smiley

We had a good time, but it was hot - 83, and really humid. By the time we did all that walking, we were done in. smiley - laugh

Absolutely. smiley - smiley They all thanked us for sharing the eclipse experience with them - and we told them when the planetarium show was every month. smiley - winkeye

We also met some folk on the way over to the park - they offered to share their glasses, but we told them we had our own. They complimented us on the pinhole box we made. smiley - smiley Not bad for a really small town.

just finished that German jokesmiley - winkeyesmiley - winkeyesmiley - laughsmiley - groanS ready


One day, a German General was conducting a visit to a forward front-line staging post, when a German soldier was shot by a British sniper on the hill above the area.
The General shouted a command to send a squad up the hill to remove the sniper, at this, a squad went up the hill and there was the sound of gunfire, but no soldier/s returned.
So the General ordered a detachment up the hill, again loads of gunfire and the odd explosion and yet again after a while, not one German soldier came back.
The general was fuming as why a British sniper couldn't be "removed", so he sent a battalion to take the hill.
A smokescreen cover was laid down and the battalion charged up the hill, heavy fighting was heard and machine-gun, rifle fire was heard, plus the explosions of hand-grenades. But! once again, as it went quiet, no one came back down the hill.
Now! The General was seething and ordered the Luftwaffe to fly over and bomb the area on the other side of the hill, bombs dropped, explosions and rifle fire and silence.
This was not acceptable and was undermining troop morale, so he sent the Africa Corps consisting of mainly Panzer and Tiger Tanks, including 88mm cannons and various accompanying armour etc to attack the sniper.
Hours went by and once again, nothing came back over the hill.
The General had no alternative now, than to send the entire Western Front German Force over the hill and finish it!
After about 2 hours of constant battle noises etc, one solitary soldier staggered down the hill and saluted to the General and said I have to report Herr General, the British fooled us - there were 2 of them

smiley - doh
Told you the pun line would get a smiley - groan

smiley - rofl No, you had to work at it.

Like me on Twitter, working on the Guide Editors' feed.

Somebody tweeted about Big Ben, 'What will we do? How will we know when to make tea, or watch EastEnders?'

So I retweeted it and added, 'Look to the Guide in dark days. Also remember...' with a link to Vera Lynn singing 'Bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover.' smiley - tongueincheek
