On Tom & Jerry, Tom was eating a turkey leg. After seeing this, Emmett said, "Next Thanksgiving, can I eat the chicken right off the chicken stick?"

My sister's husband, Dean, got the most amazing video of our eclipse. We were so very lucky to have thin clouds for most of the period of totality. Jump ahead to 4:25 to hear the crowd as we head into totality.
