“Welders mask”

At our senior center today a person gave a presentation on watching the eclipse. He said welders’ masks will NOT be safe unless they’re at a certain number. I’m not sure of the number — maybe 14 — but not positive about that.

Our town is in the “total” path and I guess hotels are full. We will watch on TV. We have enough eye issues; not taking any chances.

14 is the number I keep hearing.

Finding a 52mm solar lens is not so easy when I took pass through the search engines.

I don’t get the hype and have to row the galley on Monday. No doubt the leader types will let people take a look outside. HR gave away a lot of those cheap glasses.

As for the eclipse, I can take or leave. I’ll go outside but I have enough sense and existing eye problems not look at the sun.

I’d order some 14’s but I doubt they’d get here on time. The local stores are probably picked over.
