Metric connection? Oh, the totality path would have been about 110 km
wide, and the moon's shadow moves about 1500 km/h. I am an eclipse
chaser, of course. No offense intended to anyone, please, and enjoy all
of April 1.

Subject: 2017 eclipse CANCELLED (maybe)!

I am so sorry to start the month off with bad news, but the August
2017 total solar eclipse--including, of course, its path through
Idaho-- may be cancelled. Donald Trump and the Republican party have
decided that it would be too expensive, would interfere with the
property rights of ranchers and farmers whose animals would be exposed
to darkness during the daytime, and would do nothing to pay down the
national debt or balance the budget, much less "make America great again".
It is possible that the eclipse will take place overseas, but it may
be cancelled in the United States--depending on the election, of
course. I do feel badly bringing you this upsetting news. It is not
a good way to start April.
Feel free to let me know about questions or comments.
HARRY
