EclipseFest

There was no precedent for such a crowd and no opportunity for a trial run.

Wednesday, representatives of state agencies gave the final news conference and statistics about the eclipse's effects on Wyoming.

The anticipated congestion of crowds downtown didn't happen, in part because eclipse-viewers were scattered around Casper.

Thomas Leistert of Graz, Austria, has seen eclipses in Venezuela, Austria, Zambia, Libya, Portugal and elsewhere.

Casper has 48 other parks.

Most of the eclipse-viewers who arrived by plane this morning won't leave the airport.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration named Casper as one of the best places to view the eclipse.

Another scam, alas.

Don't hesitate to get medical help if you need it.

Many issues such as long lines are beyond our control, but we can do something about our attitudes and behaviors to cope with them.
