Greetings!

This (censored) storm has closed the University and planetarium today.
However, if you're still looking for eclipse glasses, you'll have
opportunities to buy them during the following times.

*Friday night*
*6:30 - 9 p.m*

*Saturday*
*10:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.*
*5:30 - 9:00 p.m.*

*Sunday*
*12:00 - 2:00 p.m.*
*6:00 - 8:00 p.m.*

*Monday (Yes, eclipse day)*
*8:00 a.m. - 2 p.m.*

Believe me, I wish to the highest heaven that I could open today.
However, barring any unforeseen meteorological catastrophe, we'll be open
tonight and throughout the weekend.

Stay safe
Be well.

Edward

"If we're sufficiently sceptical and empirical about *anything (*whether a
star or a baby or a plastic cup), we'll see that it's baffling, mysterious,
thrillingly weird and defies all of our categories - requiring a poetical
and a mathematical and an emotional and a physical response."
-Charles Foster, author of *Being a Human*
