    If you're planning on trying to view it, you might want to start looking for eclipse glasses now. They're already getting scarce. Beware of fakes, too.

    :(

    One may use #14 Welders goggles. They can be acquired at a welding supply house or on Amazon, and will set you back $7-$30.

    Ordinary sunglasses are not a very good option, I guess.

    You will burn your retina with normal glasses, might be permanent, will be painful.

    I already have my SE glasses. Then, the wife reminded me that I had a doctor appointment during the scheduled eclipse. HA! Well, I am going to have to reschedule that appointment unless it is going to be cloudy that day.

    You'd have to ask JoAnna about that.
