That should work. Eclipse glasses are supposedly good enough (although some I've seen for sale worry me). The cheaper option is glass from a welding helmet. Generally you can pick up one of these for $5 (too late now). You would need at least level 14 but that's common. Welding glass is how everyone viewed it up until this year when suddenly these special glasses were available all over.
Slightly overcast. Went to the grocery store. Would you believe the manager told me he's closing it for ten minutes or so that the employees can watch?Another hour before it comes here
My son is working at a local grocery store today. He and the other employees are taking turns popping out to catch a quick look-see. It's nice and clear here. And the sun currently looks like Pac-Man. Well, maybe like Pac-Man yawning, anyway.
Well that looked.... different... I don't think that was a moon.
Local channels here are proclaiming this the Great American Eclipse. I think the hoopla is hilarious, but I'm an old bag so a solar eclipse is nothing new. The younger generation probably never experienced a total eclipse in their lifetime. I just hope no one is stupid enough to try to watch the eclipse with the naked eye. The state transportation department issued a warning not to try to drive with those special glasses on. Apparently, the only thing you can see with those glasses is the sun. Everything else is dark. But I'm sure someone will ignore the warning and try to drive with those glasses on.
