Many of my friends are traveling into the path of totality, but I am not.ย It just didn’t seem like that big of a deal…and it is too late to change my mind. Everything in the path of totality has been booked for months.

    How can you see the 2017 Solar Eclipse in Glendale?

    There are lots of Solar Eclipse viewing glasses that you can buy on the interwebs, but a quick search on the Amazons shows almost everything is sold out. I was planning to go old school with the projection method- poke a hole in a bit of paper and watch the shadow as the moon moves over the sun. Not sexy, but very effective. We did this for the last eclipse and I found it pretty thrilling. Click here for an article on 2017 Solar Eclipse safety tips.
