Where Will You Be During the Eclipse? Home? At Work? Looking at the Sky?

I'm going to be home, watching the eclipse on television or live streaming if it's available.

I will not go out during those hours. I don't have those approved glasses, not that I'd trust them anyway. We only have two eyes and they are precious!

 

What will you be doing?

Don't forget to bring your pets inside, as well.

We'll be at work when it starts.  On the road to pick up his truck (that's being repaired) hopefully.  Then headed home in major traffic.  No glasses here.  Not looking up and dreading the people that will be.  We are in "the path of totallity"! 

 

Feel free to send prayers and blessings this way.  For us and the truck.  LOL

I don't have the proper eyeglasses, and I'm not sure that I'd trust them anyway.  Better (for me) to watch on TV.  I'm sure there will be plenty of photos floating around, too.  .....YES, A good reminder to KEEP OUR PETS INDOORS!  (I haven't heard that mentioned out there (anywhere/everywhere.)

Working and inside a building thank goodness.  It's like Sunala said, your eyes at least to me is the most important thing not to lose.  Rather lose my hearing then lose my eyes.

I will be home or at our community lake if I can rig up the peep box lens

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

@sunala  I'll be at work on the 18th floor at my window seat, lol.  At the time of day that it's expected to be over my part of Michigan I will probably see some darkness - the sun should be above my building - out of direct view.  

There are many elements: wind, fire, water
But none quite like the element of surprise

I was planning on doing something with a friend of mine. I'm not sure I will though. I don't want to risk looking up accidentally. I read that dogs don't look up anyway. I don't trust that though and will not let Frankie go outside.
