So I'm thinking the ISO glasses are kind of a scam.
I'm thinking if I shield the sun with my hand and kind of take quick peeks between my fingers and over the edges of my hand whilst squinting profusely I should be ok. Pretty sure my hand is at least 1500 SPF.
Also thinking about just putting a mirror out and looking at the reflection which should also be pretty much 100% safe.
I'm just not sure how to protect my tomatoes though, they're plants and kind of stupid so I don't think they'll take appropriate precautions.
Looks like I'll have a few quarts of sun dried tomatoes.

I'm at 98.5% totality, which I am thinking will have to be close enough.
Edit, actually 99.43% in my back yard

Edit, actually 99.43% in my back yard I've never seen a total eclipse, but I hear people who have say it is almost an unworldy experience. I'm at like 67% totality, but there's another total eclipse in like 7 years, and I'll be near or within a two hour drive of 100%. My company gave out eclipse glasses. You can also use them to see sun spots. Cool shit. |

I live in the town with the longest duration of totality in the US. Or world maybe? I don't know. We're expecting hundreds of thousands of people. Ozzy is playing at one of the local wineries. He comes on stage right when it's darkest. 😂 This is a podunk town so this is big for us.

Apparently, you just pulled your misshapen, non-functional noggin out of your giant-veined covered anus. Common |

Every fuckin day is that. We're no close enough to totality to notice it getting much darker. It will be at 70% max totality for us. Anything less than 95% won't make much difference. Just don't stare at it. |
