So you say you live in the UK?  I don't think I saw clear skies in
the entire time I was over there (approx 3 weeks), but it was in
June after all.

I believe it's going to be nearly total where I am, which is about 33 deg
north.  But I could be mistaken...  Can't say what it will look like in
the UK, but I imagine it will at least be partial there.

"The people of San Lorenzo", the father told me, "are interested in only
 three things: fishing, fornication, and Bokononism."

"Don't you think they could be interested in progress?"

"They've seen some of it.  There's only one aspect of progress that really
 excites them."

"What's that?"

"The electric guitar."
