My solar eclipse glasses have arrived

There is a total solar eclipse happening here in America on Monday. Everyone seems to be going nuts about it. Yes I like science but I'm a biology person--not an earth science or astronomy person. That being said I will be done with work and back here at the apartment when the "totality" occurs. Where I live isn't directly in the path of totality (darkness) but we should see a lot of it. I know myself and I won't be able to resist looking up so I did the smart thing and ordered myself some solar eclipse glasses. Pretty much everyone other than Trump knows not to look up directly at an eclipse without proper eye protection. They were less than $15 on Amazon and arrived literally overnight. So now I'm ready to check out the eclipse! It has been funny seeing the news anchors on CNN wearing them when they are discussing the upcoming event. They can't see ANYTHING.
