If I may, it is permissible, at length, to split.

Could some kind soul provide the date? ~ wow
You'll have to run - the date is the 8th April. Better not blink though, you may miss it:
"Be prepared for a rare hybrid solar eclipse coming April 8 as the Moon sweeps
eastward across our planet.
Along a narrow swatch of the Pacific Ocean, the Moon completely covers the Sun
for up to 42 seconds. On the other side of the world, observers in Panama,
Colombia, and Venezuela will see a spectacular "Ring of Fire."
Across southern North America and western South America, the Sun appears
partially eclipsed the afternoon of April 8."

I know there's been a lot of geological activity of late, but could someone explain to me in what sense Panama, Columbia, and Venezuela are on the other side of the world from the Pacific?

Columbia, at least, is on the other side of the continent.
Anna: Actually, I was thinking of Columbia University. I guess I don't get out of town enough.
But what means "to serve up on toast points," exactly? -- I've seen it/heard it, but I don't quite get it

Toast points are when you cut your toast into - wait for it - little pointed pieces, as opposed to "soldiers", which are strips of bread or toast for diping into a softboiled egg. Following the discussion of "books on paper" and "books on toast" in another part of this site, I tried doing an origami number on my toast to fold it into points, but it didn't work. ANd I got butter all over my cat, who is now floating about two feet above the ground......
