    Good grief, what a lot to wade through - but it's worth it all to end up on The Rock !

    I checked the long range forecast and it will be 100% chance of rain that day.

    :rolleyes:

    (good excuse to go shopping in Buffalo !!)

    I assume the purple are the 100% bounds?

    Purple? If you are referring to the lines they are blue and mark the edges of the totality region which is about 67 miles wide (from blue line to blue line) It is within those lines that the moon totally covers the sun.

    Strangers?
    The border guys at Lewiston know me by name, Buffalo is practically my home town.

    The Rock???

    That's the wrong shape of the island to be Alcatraz. It was known as the Rock.

    Hey, that's good. And I don't think that our one has sharks, either. Perhaps you would know better about that.

    I would have asked my American brother-in-law about it, but he's never seen Alcatraz from the outside.

    :D

    Hey, that's pretty ! And the shape is sorta like the eclipse footprint - well, isn't that special ? Keeps the thread on topic, too.

    Those boats - are they for transport back and forth on Court appearance days ? I suppose that it beats swimming, but I sure hope the ride's not as bumpy as those godawful vans !

    :D

    I don't know when the photo was taken but those are probably the tourist boats seeing as how the prison has been closed since 63. As for the bay it is very cold, shark infested and flows swiftly out to sea.
