    As many of you living in North America may know, a spectactular celestrial event will occur on Monday, August 21, 2017.
    This event is a Solar Eclipse which can be seen "totally" (moon covers sun 100%) or a least partially (moon covers sun < 100%) across North America.     Accordingly, we offer for your approval, 3 questions about the upcoming TSE 2017 (Part 1)?
    Please choose your answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each of the following question.   
    Good Luck and remember, YOU are always a WINNER with us, regardless of your actual answers!  
    OK, put on your smoke-mask, and venture outside....
