Cosmic coincidence? Seems unlikely

Columbia was a gracious host for the Great American Eclipse of 2017. Everything went smoothly, from what I could tell.

God sure put on a heavenly show above us. In fact I’m ready for the next one.

According to astronomers, the next total eclipse will appear over Columbia on May 11, 2078. And by some cosmic coincidence, that is also exactly when SCE&G ratepayers like me will be done paying for the two failed nuclear reactors. I can’t wait.
