(I have three persistently cracked ribs from their being bar-b-qued by breast cancer radiation 5 years ago.). A fracture that doesn't heal in a normal length of time is considered a nonunion and, if the pain is severe enough to interfere with daily living (or sleeping), surgical repair might be indicated.
Solar eclipse 2017. 2017 eclipse. As the Moon's shadow crosses into Idaho over the Snake River, the eclipse will traverse over mountainous terrain. Idaho will be a desirable state to view the eclipse because of good weather prospects (see eclipsophile.com).
While in Idaho the eclipse will occur between 11AM & noon local time. Boise has a history of solar eclipse totality paths missing it. The 1918 eclipse which occurred on June 8 was slightly more northwest to southeast than the the upcoming 2017 eclipse. It entered thru Washington and exited thru Florida and also barely missed Boise as did 2 other eclipses on April 28, 1930 and July 9, 1945.
