FORGIVE ME BUT-not feeling all that safe. All of life involves risk. If, you have no risk you are missing, avoiding, much of life.
I did watch a lot of it on TV too. Flipping from the Weather Channel to CNN to CBS, ABC, and NBC local Orlando coverage.

I just wanted to protect my eyesight as much as possible. Those glasses would have come in handy but I really did not pay much attention to news of the August 21, 2017 solar eclipse until demand for these have exhausted the supply for them.
