The Rat's old-time saying for today

Old river folks swear rats can feel the weather coming. Like the groundhog, they're never exactly right or wrong.

Eclipses coming up

Every eclipse through 2029, worldwide. The ones marked "See it from Iowa" are the ones to step outside for. Dates from NASA lists.
