This kind of thing hold bad memories for me
  I got in trouble big time when I was a kid for trying to watch an eclipse while wearing my dad's welding shield. The fact that I could have gone blind was only compounded by the fact that his helmet had a prescription glass ground into it

You should have a solar filter to view it. I am too far west to see anything. It's overcast here today anyway.

You know viewing it is fatal, right?
Everyone who saw it last time 'round died. |
