Great view and apparently the american astronomical union had a conference in town and Monday was the last day having the eclipse be the end of the conference. Got to learn a lot more than I bargained for from some really smart people...

    Licensed Professional references

    I asked engineers outside my company who are familiar with my work to vouch for me. It wasn't a problem because we have worked on so many projects together. A cold call would be highly suspect however.

    Old Race Cars
