I will be driving home Monday, so will probably stop somewhere along I-10 and take a peek with a pinhole projector. Seems like a lot of places are already sold out of solar glasses. Heaven forbid they should buy enough for everyone to have a pair. I wanted to drive up north and get as close as I could to the center of totality, but it's pretty much a two day drive to get there from here, so that's out. I don't really feel like taking a 2 day drive for a 20 minute view of something anyway, so I'll just make a pinhole projector and try to take a couple pictures of that with my cell phone. Totally cloudy here today, I hope it's a little better on Monday.

That's entirely possible, since Wal-Mart was selling them for $1.
