Here's the perfect list of special gifts for your loved ones, think about it, how about buying a special romantic trip for your wife to experience the first eclipse to hit US mainland in a century

From what I heard experiencing a total eclipse is a freaky unreal experience, where you will see the red colors of the sunset in a 360 degree view, while the sky is totally black!
You may even possibly see the sun's corona and chromosphere
You cast shadows in waves in many directions at the same time, not a simple shadow...
and it seems like the whole world comes to a halt... birds stop singing and ... it's supposedly even quite scary. I would really like to go there
Mark 08.21.2017 in the calendar guys
