Don't Miss It - The Transit of Venus - Today Only

June 05, 2012 by Steve Tilford 6 comments 13 views

Unless there are some miracle medical advances, today will be the last time that the planet Venus passes in front of the sun in our lifetime. It will occur from 5:03 Kansas time until sunset. So, for those time challenged, that is 6:03 Eastern time and 3:03 pm Western Time Zone. It is going to be a pretty cool thing to see, so get out your welding glasses or old film negatives and take a peek. [

I inhaled / swallowed something tonight, have no idea what it was, still feels like its in my throat, I tried to get it out right away but was breathing so hard I couldn’t, hopefully that means it didn’t go down into my lungs. Weird that you just wrote about that.
