I was going to post about this, too. I'm glad you did. There hasn't been one in North America for a long time.
If only you knew how bad things really are.

I am planning on making it a day trip, as I am only a few hours away from it.

Hmm, I wonder why people don't take these climate change forecasts as seriously as they take astronomy. Could it be because the astronomical forecasts have been verified for centuries to a precision of 1 part in 10 to a large power, whereas the climate change "forecasts" are always wrong and have never predicted anything successfully? And could this in turn be because in the one case the forecasts follow from a rigorously tested mathematical theory with very few assumptions and great explanatory power, and in the other case are produced by just-so-story "models" with dozens of arbitrary parameters and "fudge factors" and almost no predictive power whatsoever? Could that be the difference, eh Justin?
What a sweet scam this has been and remains, LOL. Just be grateful we now have a bona fide
denier as head of the EPA and have pulled out of the Paris idiocy; of course all the ingrate Republicans should be kneeling at T's feet daily for this reason alone but it will be a cold day in hell before that happens.
Anyway, back to regularly scheduled programming, just had to answer Dusty's call.

No desire to see it. High risk of burning your retina. Maybe you could take a picture of it without looking or just watch an online stream of it.

How about instead of burning your retinas out you just put your phone's camera on selfie mode then watch the eclipse over your shoulder.

I stare directly at the sun with eyes fully open every now and then.
My eyesight is fine.
Don't believe everything they tell you.
Rather, ask yourself, what is it they dont want you to see during an eclipse.

Raining here at the moment in the Midwest. We're in one of those prime positions too.
Is it beta to wear the eclipse glasses when watching it?

That sucks. I'll have 99.8% where I'm at. They were calling for cloudy weather.

Something, perhaps millions of years of evolution, makes me not want to stare at the sun, regardless of eye protection.
But if I stumble across someone outside my building who has a pair of approved shades, I might have a glance.
I'm at around 85%. It would be pretty awesome to be at 100% dark for a few minutes. Share a historically significant human experience with our ancestors.

This eclipse thing is bullshit. I just had to stare at the sun for five straight minutes until it got dark.

I have a feeling if you point you phone's camera at the sun during the eclipse it'll burn the image sensor.

bah, I had a whole projection setup with a rifle scope and it doesn't work. Now I'm stuck looking at it with a box on my head.
