[Rockhounds] What OT ?? (cats) -and Denver show(s) etc...

[J. R. Hodel]

OT???

If we can't do a cat post every few months, I quit!
Not really, but still...
Kind of planning to attend at least a couple of days of the Denver show for the very first time. Any advice from regulars?? 

Also going to attempt to witness a total eclipse of the sun in far western KY, staying in Owensboro KY and driving south into totality. As many rockhounds are also into astronomy, asking if anyone knows of special viewing events in the area? Will be very near Marion, hope to visit Ben Clement's fluorite museum - there's a rocky tie-in. Will also try to take the Cave-in-Rock ferry over the big Ohio If possible.
