Henry Kissinger, a controversial Nobel Peace Prize winner and diplomatic powerhouse whose service under two presidents left an indelible mark on U.S. foreign policy, died on Wednesday at his Connecticut home. While many hailed Kissinger for his brilliance and broad experience, others branded him a war criminal for his support for anti-communist dictatorships, especially in Latin America.

My wife and I, and our oldest son and his wife, and two of his daughters, are gong to meet in Hobbs, New Mexico to see the October annular eclipse. We're driving from SoCal and they're coming in from Katy, Texas.

Below is a link to a website which provides a lot of information about both the upcoming October 2023 annular eclipse and the April 2024 total eclipse. I can highly recommend the 'Field Guide' that they sell on this site as it provides a lot of information about the eclipses themselves as well as some suggestions about good places to observe them. I bought copies of the 'Field Guide' for both me and our son:

Note that we also witnessed the August 2017 total eclipse with our son and other family members when we all met in York, Nebraska.

In fact, if you want to learn more about my preparations for the seeing the eclipses as well as my plans for photographing them, please visit the site below where I and others go into some detail about our past eclipses and what we're planning for the next two, including our pre-planning for the April 2024 total eclipse which we plan to drive to Texas to see:

Anyway, enjoy.
