(Although Ava had no intentions of viewing the eclipse, even she was forced into it by the people who live at her house – she was forced into the street wearing her jammies, no underwear and a welding mask. I assure you, more were blinded by that get-up then staring at the sun.)
What did you wear to the solar eclipse and did you have your underwear on?
I didn’t have glasses. I thought I just needed to squint a little harder or something. Once I gave up on that, I turned around and glanced at the wall of my house to rediscover the coolest secondary means of observing the event. The individual spots of light coming through the trees made little cresents of light. Also notable is that everything cast a double shadow as if there were a brigh and a less bright sun in the sky.
I’ll remind you to turn of your TV in 11 years or so, when the next one comes around.
cheers!
