Eclipse

 Q:  How does a man on the moon cut his hair?


A: Eclipse it!

Like my joke?  I think it came from a Laffy Taffy wrapper back when I was in college.  Still makes me chuckle...

And in other riveting news, we watched the eclipse last night.  It was pretty cool and we even snagged one of the last pairs of eclipse glasses that the Ott Planetarium distributed.  Good times.  
  

 I thought about majoring in Astronomy until I considered the practical applications of such a major.  There were none.  Except maybe being recruited to be the official cub scout stargazing merit badge leader.  



I didn't major in it, but I took a few astronomy classes in college anyway and one time when I was at Ricks, I tried to take a test a week early because I liked it so much I had read ahead and was ready for it.  The testing center wouldn't let me.  So I tried again a few days later.  Still no.  Then I got smart and checked the syllabus and realized my mistake and had to wait a few more days before I actually got to take it.  But good news - I aced it.

(And FYI, at Ricks, all tests were taken in a testing center and not during class time.  Which I thought was fun until I transferred to Utah State and realized on test days, you got out of actually having class, which was way better.  And also, one time I got sent home from the testing center for wearing overalls.  Honor code violation).

The End.
