5C's Que Pasa

I could write about the facts re the eclipse but it has been in the news and is easily Googled.   Suffice to say it was so rare as to be the first time since 1638 when astronomer Galileo was under house arrest for suggesting that the Earth circled the sun!!!  We have come quite [...]

From hair cuts to a solar eclipse with a party in between!  It almost took all day today to recover and write about Monday.  Not quite true because today was another day of adventure but more about that another day!  Si?  Si!
