I am. Can't wait to laugh at everyone wearing sunglasses while it's dark too.
Looking at it without glasses is only ok if you are in a total cover zone, and only during the time of total cover. This is from my resident Sheldon... he's super smart and I believe him.
Sorry what was that? I was out practicing for the eclipse.
cheaper than laser eye surgery huh? 0 -

Do you hear a laugh track after every time he talks?

SO IF ECLIPSES HAPPEN EVERY 18 MONTHS OR SO, WHY IS THIS ONE SUCH A BIG DEAL?
(sorry caps)
It’s because this eclipse is all American: the shadow of the eclipse will pass from the west coast of Oregon all the way to the east coast of South Carolina. It’s the first time a total solar eclipse has passed from one coast to the other in 99 years.3 -

That looks like a two pack, can I have one? I'm convinced if I buy a pair then something will happen and I'll be too busy to go outside. It'll be a wasted $2 I can't fit in my budget.2 -

Just use a visor, it's probably no big deal.1 -
