Getting ready to go in the back yard...

[LuckyCharms]

sit in my reclining chair, smoke a joint, and experience the eclipse.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to look directly at it, because I was negligent in obtaining some glasses. I somehow thought they would be easily available today, but I was dead wrong. I put about 100 miles on my vehicle trying to find a pair this morning, but no luck. Oh well, my fault.

I might try to rig up one of those cereal box projection viewers.

I hope you all enjoy the eclipse viewing, if you are in a location where you can get a good view.

1. I forgot to get eclipse glasses, too.

3. During the last one, (2017? which I don't think was a total eclipse?)...

I just tried to kind of view it with my peripheral vision for a second or two.

That wasn't very satisfying, but I did enjoy how the colors and sharpness of things around me changed briefly.

12. 2017 was a total; the band of totality went from Washington state to the Carolina coast.

We saw that one in Kentucky. The totality path went right over my sister's house in our hometown.
I have a tshirt that says twice in a lifetime and has both totality paths. The two paths actually cross in Missouri

2. I currently have a few extra glasses.

It's a shame that we don't live closer, I could drop off my extra's in your mailbox.



You could also punch small holes in a paper plate and use them as a projector. There are better examples on YouTube but I need to clean up the kitchen before I run out of time.

4. I'll be right there for the glasses.

Please have a joint ready for me.

5. I got the glasses covered.

You'll have to bring the joint or the gummies my friend.

7. Hell Yeah!

8. I got a pair

They clip onto my glasses. Sitting at a remote picnic table, sipping espresso and vaping sativa. When the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse emerge from behind the lunar disc, I am ready!

9. Lucky Charms, sorry didn't see your post. Down here in Pittsburgh it is starting.There is a bite out of the sun.

10. Can't see much here in upstate NY Deb...

Too cloudy.

[LuckyCharms]

11. Well, while I was sitting out there...

one of my neighbors saw me and came out to give me two pairs of solar glasses that she got from work.

Alas, the glasses were not needed because the cloud cover was so thick, I couldn't see anything anyway.

Here's a pic of what it looked like at my house:
