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

@WenGirl42...okey dokey...it still looks like a little moon to me.  The important thing is that we tested our "approved" glasses.  Happy viewing.

What a sweet post, @shell garden. I needed a little bit of kindness, thanks so much.


@happycat....awwwww, you just caught me on a good day, lol.  It doesn't cost a thing to be kind and have a little "chuckle" in your heart.  ((HUGS))

At work - no windows - not a big deal to me.

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

Ordinarily when someone looks at the sun, it's bright and we look away. I think the panic is because the sun will be hidden - or mostly hidden - people won't be "blinded" by it and won't look away. They won't realize how dangerous it is so they will keep looking for a longer time. I'm talking about people who are not paying much attention to what's going on. 

 

If you can't get the glasses, welders' goggles from a hardware store are a good alternative. 

 

I hope to be "looking at the sky"! Smiley Wink

Do you all really think you will go blind if you glance up at the sun during the eclipse? Really? "Remember to bring your pets in". I really think this phenomenon is getting way blown out of proportion! Its an eclipse, not the end of the world.

I'll be on the 205 North bridge crossing the Columbia River out of Portland, OR to Vancouver, WA for a physical theraphy appointment.  Go figure!  However, already experienced an eclipse in the late '80s in SF.

 

Husband at home will use my lower back MRIs to view the eclipse at our block party.
