I was apparently dumb enough to move to a part of Florida that’s going to be cloudy tomorrow.
Given the irony that Florida, my long time former home, is the Sunshine State, I prescribe an Adult Beverage as consolation 😎
Today we use “eclipse glasses”. Don’t pull them off and look at the sun like Marge Simpson did and end up at the hospital.
I’m not seeing a mistake.
Next week I have an appointment with my retina specialist. I'm gonna ask her if she's seen any patients with retina damage due to the eclipse.
!960
Pleasantly integrated school room. Everyone looking nice and neat and respectful. I think we’re supposed to think of this as Bad Old Days.
I used a welding hood last time. Pulled them out and cleaned them today. Extra dark glasses in them.
The unguarded, no eye protection “teacher” is looking straight up. His students are carefully covered with their cardboard “pinhole” cameras to create shadows on the ground.
Heading to St. Albans myself. Hope the weather holds!
I’m gonna ask her if she’s seen any patients with retina damage due to the eclipse.
= = =
has she ‘seen’ . . . ?
Trick question.
My arc welding lens is up to 11 I thlnk.
Meh.. Seen one eclipse, seen ‘em all.
Florida is far from the path of totality this time. You won’t miss a thing unless you’re an astronomy geek and if you were you would have traveled the centreline somewhere.
Maybe I’m missing something, but I’ve never had the urge to stare directly at the sun, for the same reason I never had the urge to hit myself with a hammer.
It hurts.
They’re like Lays potato chips. No one can see just one. :)
Clouds but I’ll watch for idiots running around with their hands in the air yelling \o/ , LOL
