Eclipse of the Sun

[Today’s run: 3.5 miles]

The solar eclipse is in the news.  It happens tomorrow.  I don’t have any special plans.

This has happened once before since we moved here in 2009.  I remember setting up a mirror in the driveway and reflecting the image through the garage/house door so it would show the eclipse shape on the wall of the hallway.   According to Wikipedia, it was probably the one in May 2012.

I may try that again tomorrow.  I don’t have any eclipse glasses or any of the fancy stuff.

I like that idea better than the glasses. How do we know the glasses won’t allow enough through to cause damage that will show up decades later?

My counterpart in Nebraska has been struggling with her eyes for at least a year and she brought up the subject on FB. She’s concerned about the thousands of school children that will be counting on the efficacy of those glasses.
