Are you planning on looking at the eclipse?

yes I am--we are not in the total path, probably about 96%--assuming the forecast for the KC area isn't cloudy. We could not find glasses, so made up the viewer box just like I did as a kid in early '60's. So should not have to worry about eyes as I'll be facing away from the sun. I am going to DVR the program on tv just in case it doesn't work!

I had planned to
I hope everyone is safe as I have been hearing horror stories about fake glasses being distributed. (One of our local governments even gave away thousands of unsafe ones and is now having to advise people to not use them)

We live about 5 miles west of I-25 and 40 miles south of Wyoming border. You wouldn't believe the traffic. It is bumper to bumper. It is crazy. I wouldn't get caught up in that mess for anything. We have 92% coverage here and that is good enough for me. Enough coverage to make the yard lights come on. We have been told a welding hood is also acceptable. That is what we used when I was a kid. If it protects your eyes welding should do it for the eclipse.
