days looking for a pair and everybody was sold completely out. Think I'll be alright if I just squint real hard and look at it?

somewhere in the house. Somewhere.
There was a partial one a few months ago and I dug them out for it. Reckon I need to hunt for them in case I feel like looking at this one.

Seriously, I'll take a couple of paper plates, poke a hole in one, and watch the shadows.

just a ruse to make you buy new ones. They've been stored in a closet, no degrading possible.
The ones I have aren't the cheap 3-D looking clown specs. These look more like binoculars (they are 2X looking at the box). Cheap but not the bottom barrel cheapo ones.

Lost eclipse glasses are in the junk drawer with everything else

Unfortunately that drawer effectively has NOTHING in it because whatever you want cannot be found!

I'm still wondering why folks in the upstate of SC are making a big deal

out of it. The media has some of these people believing that it's going to be the same here as it was in 2017 in the upstate.

Oct 14 specifically if you don't remember.
It was a Saturday and I was at home. The cool things were 1) the shadows got really funky (look at them tomorrow if you can) and 2) the animals got weird.
There were several deer in my yard while this eclipse passed over (it was like 1pm I think), and they all just laid down in the yard for about 10 minutes. When it was over, they got back up and wandered away.
I snapped this pic.....it was so odd.

If the kids had never seen one I'd understand. I think I've seen at least two and I'll testify, they ain't all that.

Oh, you'll need a welding helmet to go with them.
