While I’m busy in Saint Paul doing this, I think you should have a look at this and this, because summer is just around the corner. Later, I’ll be working on a post for this because I do one every four weeks. How time flies. I’ve already done two of them (this and this).
Oh, I bought a bottle of air to disperse some of the dust while I’m doing this, and they wanted my ID! I had no idea that people snorted air.
Don’t forget, this is coming up soon, as is this. And pretty soon we’ll be doing a new one of these.
And don’t forget about the eclipse.
Speaking of which…

eclipse? solar or lunar? there a partial solar on July 1, but it isn’t visible in the northern hemisphere. the NASA site said it may not be visible to *anyone*.
just read Ethan’s blog, and the eclipse is lunar and *not* visible in North America.
🙁
no eclipse for me.
I don’t know anything about it. Oh crap, forgot to provide a link …. hold on a sec … here: http://scienceblogs.com/startswithabang/2011/06/tomorrows_remarkable_lunar_ecl.php
How can a lunar eclipse not be visible from anywhere? Impossible! It is a shadow ON the moon. ON. The moon. If we can see the moon we can see the eclipse.
Oh right …. the moon will not have risen yet. Or will have set or whatever. But “everywhere in north america” can’t be correct. I’m pretty sure the Kiribatans won’t be able to see it either.
Of course, they were all raptured.
A while back, a lady told me she had to show ID to buy a jug of windshield washer fluid.
But surely, some of you have friends that are vacationing at the central or eastern Mediterranean?
Call them, and tell them there is a nice lunar eclipse immediately after sunset! If they look at the place opposite to the sun they will see a reddish blur: the moon, faintly illuminated by light passing through Earth’s atmosphere, but otherwise in shadow.
