Subject: RE: BS: You know that it's Spring when...
BTW,Ghana will be experiencing eclipse of the sun on the 29th of march. so for those of you who have never experienced this eclipse,you can either watch it on CNN or live it(and of course CNN will do it nicely by reminding you that it is a horrible continent, unfit for humans to live in).

This eclipse interestingly will cover the West coast of Africa,areas where the salve markets were located or traded heavily in slaves will experience total eclipse,whiles the rest will experience partial eclipse. The eclipse will start from the west coast of Africa and end up in the carribeans(the last destination for the slaves).And come to think of it the year 2006 is 1999 in the African traditional calendar.
