Greetings from atop the levee near Rockwood, Illinois, where the eclipse will start in about 50 minutes, be total for 2m40.2s, and finally end at 19:46 UT. Now 688 Jelly Babies! David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Get your facts right - Big Ben, or more correctly the "Great Bell" is the largest of the bells in the "Elizabeth Tower" (formerly "The Clock Tower", which is part of the Houses of Parliament (Palace of Westminster). This is NOT the same place as "The Tower of London" which is "proper" castle about a mile or so further downstream on the River Thames. Not only has the Great Bell been silenced, but also the Quarter Bells, a set of four bells that chime out the famous "Westminster Chime" every quarter hour.

Oh, and where I'm sitting on the levee, there's a railroad track, actually a pair of them, just behind me. I'd rather it be in front of me, but I chose to sit facing away so that the sun is on the passenger side of the car. It's getting pretty close to straight up, so later I might turn around. But once totality is over, I'm probably out of here. The A/C is on recirculate with the fan on 3 out of 5. Yes, I'm keeping an eye on the temp gauge. And no, I'm not looking at the sun without special glasses. A couple of times, I used my phone to check it, but I won't bother again until it's time for the moon to arrive.
