I read about the total eclipse of 2017 that would be visible across the width of the lower 48 about 18 months before the event. The map suggested that it would cross northern Georgia where my sister and brother-in-law live. A quick consultation with them and we decided to have a mini-family reunion of the four "kids" in the family plus spouses. We figured that, if necessary, we could drive the short distance to a viewing spot in the path of totality. It was about a year later that I discovered that the line of totality went right over their house. Big show, no driving necessary, weather permitting, all went well. And then the grand prize, a butterfly feeding on nectar from marigold blossoms. I looked it up and it's an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail. Magnificent.
