John recently emailed me out of the clear blue asking if I would write a post about his new business. In these hard times, with so many places going belly up - John is investing his hard earned money in himself - and for that alone - I would write these words. He has created rightposters.com - a one stop shop for conservative posters. And not just any posters - many of his incorporate quotes from famous conservatives throughout history and quite a few I had never heard before. You could say the posters found at John's place tend to be more cerebral than the run-of-the-mill stuff you usually find in the sidebars of other conservative sites - they are thoughtful and inspiring. Words that will make you think every time you look at the poster. You've all heard that an 'Army of Davids' is what it will take to get this country back. It's going to take an 'Army of Johns', too. Without small businesses investing in themselves - we'll never get this country's economy back. I found someone cold-calling me as it were, out of the clear blue, to promote his new endeavor damned refreshing and refreshingly hopefull - in spite of the Left's best efforts to strangle us all. I even made an ad for John and put it on top of every page for every search hit this site gets - gratis.
Visit John's place and support his enterprise.
Sooo, the total eclipse, here in Reno, was spectacular. It lasted longer than all the others I've seen. Above is what the Sun looked like from my desk chair out the window just as it began. At 4:30 you can just barely see the Moon's shadow touch the Sun.
Then the cloud came in. The cloud stayed there until just after the event. I have Photoshopped what the eclipse would have looked liked had the cloud not been there - that image is below the fold.
