Homelessness Robert King continues his insightful series about schools in the Indy Star with Homelessness just adds to IPS' challenges. King tells of a displaced family now living out of a motel room, but still getting their kids to school with "clean clothes, clean faces and combed hair." Lunar Eclipse Tonight (if it's clear...and you stay up late) If you're fortunate enough to have clear skies tonight, a total lunar eclipse will begin on the west coast around 9:30 P.M. (PST) Monday evening. For those of us east of the Mississippi, the eclipse begins a bit after midnight Tuesday morning. Space.com notes that eclipse watchers may be treated to a few shooting stars as well, as the eclipse will occur during the Ursids meteor shower, a minor meteor shower that is often obscured by the brightness of the moon.
