Don't forget to wear protective solar eclipse eyeglasses or you will go blind.

I'll be with friends on the Eastern Oregon desert in the path of totality. (Scheduled a vacation for it last year.) I've read some interesting things, such as, you should pay attention to the ground, too, as the shadows are amazing. (In some cases, it creates a slithering effect,) and you'll witness a 360 degree sunset, with sunset colors appearing all around he horizon. If it clouds over, well.... there's one mighty expensive plane ticket.

There will be a lot of aholes selling fake solar eclipse glasses, only buy from reputable sellers.

How to know if you solar eclipse glasses are real/safe:
"If you have legit glasses-- and not fakes, like the ones Amazon recalled earlier this week-- you shouldn't be able to see ANYTHING but the sun. As in, nothing. No lights. Nothing. So just because they're labeled "ISO 12312-2" doesn't mean they're going to work."

Holy shit, it's happening. The light is getting dim. It's not the same as a dusk either. It eerie AF. What's going on? If I were to masturbate right now, would I go blind?

Are you in the path of totality?

I am supposed to be at 95 percent here in North Carolina.

Not totality, but in the next band. 95 here too. It's still light out, but the sun looks weird as shit. Should I be looking at it?

It's starting to get brighter out. Well that was underwhelming.

Go into your bomb shelter and don't come out until supper time.

As ani said, kinda eerie. Kinda like looking through Blueblocker™ sunglasses without the glasses. Weird blueish gray hue to the sky. I played Also Sprach Zarathustra and Ray Charles Hit The Road Jack for effect.

Looked at it with a welding mask. It was green and kinda neat.
