And in the meantime while we're waiting on cicada cycles, there's the

begin offshore in the Pacific Ocean about 900 miles south of Amila
Island in the Aleutians and extend offshore into the Atlantic Ocean to
just south-west of Cape Verde Islands off the coast of Africa].

Lots of interesting info there, John. Now I have a cool solar eclipse
to look forward to in a few years. Hopefully, they'll have outpatient
retina replacement surgery by then.
You're right near the point of the Greatest Eclipse - it's about halfway
between Princeton and Hopkinsville.
You've got six years to get ready for it. There's lots of info on the
web about safely viewing and photographing eclipses.
