Mine came yesterday. I still have a pair from the last eclipse but thought i should get new ones. Hope its notcloudy.

Distracted, I hadn't realized we could have a partial showing here. We had the full event, in the path of totality, with the last one and I'd ordered the glasses early. They didn't come, there was some kind of Amazon uproar where not all listed were approved types and I think they cancelled all orders when I'd carefully selected mine from lists of those recommended.

A friend took apart a welding helmet and brought the eye protection to our house that morning. We had coffee and cake on the patio and shared that lens.

Not wanting to impose on him again, I did get an order off and the glasses for a few of us should be here tomorrow. I am paying a rare for me expedited shipping, something I normally avoid at all costs but if we do have clear skies and that's not guaranteed, I'd like to see what's possible even if just a partial viewing opportunity.

Thanks, MTN, I ordered. I found my old ones but they are a little smashed. I read not to use any that are damaged.

I have welding glass. But my favorite way is to look at the shadows on the ground.

Seems like they aregiving them away around here. Warby Parker and one of our libraries among others.

Thanks to this, I just ordered some that are supposed to be delivered Sunday. We have a couple places to stay that are in the path of total eclipse, but may just stay put and see what happens in our neighborhood.

Not ordering -- forecast is for rain.

I was able to buy some at Lowes.

Also, Warby Parker has them free in store.

DH bought some eclipse glasses for us. We are flying into Dallas in attempt to enjoy the eclipse. Weather is not promising but we are visiting friends and cousins, so it should still be good trip.

We also have welding glasses (and helmets). Just make sure you are using the right shade #.

I still have my glasses from the last eclipse. That's the way non-minimalists function lol

I just picked up a pair from the library, and a viewer, basically the same lense without earpieces. (They ar running low and the glasses and trying to save them for chldren, as they are easier for them to use than holding the viewer lens.)

The teachers at my school (myself included) were so excited to share the eclipse with our students and then this week, we received strict orders to keep all students indoors with the blinds drawn all afternoon. I'm all for safety, but this just seems overkill to me. They sent us links, so we can watch it live onscreen. Sheesh. When I was young, we had a full eclipse here and my mom pulled us out of school and took us cross country skiing so we could experience it out of the city. Even thought it's only partial here, I'm hoping some parents take this route.

Our granddaughter's school ordered glasses for the all the students and adults. They have also invited parents and friends to come watch. Thinking I might go. Hoping they have glasses enough for everyone.

Gee, daisy, when I was a kid in the ’60s, that’s what we were told to do, drawing the blinds and all. We didn’t.

I live not fair from total darkness. All of our schools cancelled school tomorrow months ago. Since it is during the dismissal window, they did not want kids and buses out on the roads that could potentially be very crowded with gawkers.

Still have ours from the last one, but it‘s supposed to be cloudy here.

I would swear I posted on this last night, but don’t see it. I don’t think I used a trigger word, I was just saying ours came last night.

It’s supposed to start at 12:20 here. I‘m getting excited! We do have some cloud cover, but the eclipse is still going to be fun to watch. :)

ETA: It might be my imagination, but the light outside seems a bit different right now.

Heading to the beach for a late lunch: picnic … 65 and not a cloud in the sky… should have 95pct cover
