You'll only be blind for a few minutes unless you do it to much then it will be permanent. What your mother said will come true and you will get Harry Palms.
Wait, you're talking about looking into the sun? Oh, then disregard my previous statement.

Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.
Still trying to figure out what that video is about after 30+ years. Some Cougar caught in a all-boys private school with teenage male models who have eyes like the vampire boy in "Salem's Lot" (Ralphy)?

I did it too much to the point I had to have laser surgery about 10 years ago. Think I'm gonna need it again in a couple years...........
Check out that website and watch the 10 second or so animation. This will or should be a pretty big event around here.
Forgot to add, the best place to view this will be in Hopkinsville Kentucky about 75 miles southwest of Louisville.
One of my papers is just outside Hopkinsville; the other is in a spot that actually has the best view (longest totality for longest duration) but it's a county with a population of less than 8,000... and a third of them are in jail.
Anyway, it's been pretty nuts the last 18 months or so. They're anticipating 100,000-300,000 people somewhere along Interstate 24, many of them from other countries.
Lucky me, I work for Oregon DoT and my office is in Salem, right in the path of totality. ODOT is predicting 1 million extra drivers on the highways here. Total gridlock on eclipse day.
I'll be damned if I'll stand around in funny glasses and helplessly watch while a bunch of damn furreners conjures up some giant dragon to swallow up my sun.
Besides, I'll be sequestered as usual in a glass and aluminum box we collectively call "work."
