Total Eclipse of the Eclipse

It was a sad evening for me yesterday because at the time of the eclipse the clouds were just too thick here to view it. I hope others out there had better luck.

So instead I watched UFO Hunters as it aired rather than watching it later. I totally enjoyed that episode, partly because there was more UFO hunting and less "testing" than on previous weeks. Pat was scaring the crap out of me because he just stuck his arm down a hole in the middle of the desert without (so far as I know) checking it out with a flashlight or poking a stick in there. I just sat there cringing. I would never do that, there could always be a rattlesnake, scorpion, Chupacabra or some other dangerous creature in there. So don't try that at home kids, never stick your arm down a hole in the desert or really anywhere without being sure what is in there. Remember the UFO Hunters have special powers to protect them from such things, but not everyone does.

Aside from the hole in the desert there was some stuff about "the zone of silence." That is a phenomena that I totally had missed up until a couple months ago. Apparently there is this area in the Mexican desert that is very much like the Bermuda Triangle. Electronics don't work right or just stop working at all (much like at my house) and compasses sometimes go crazy and start spinning wildly.

Actually thinking about the zone of silence makes me think I should find my compass and see if it ever spins wildly during the weird electrical things that go on here. Of course, I would be more likely to blame it on KAFB than anything else. Probably something to do with their "non-lethal" weapons testing.
