Eclipse – seen one you see them all

I will assume you have heard there will be a total eclipse of the sun on Friday early afternoon. Time will all day I have the TV on and have a muted so I can use my voice software. I notice that one of the biggest things in the world right now is the eclipse and getting glasses to watch it. It seemed pretty hyped up so I assume you've heard of it.
The last one was in 1979 and I remember it. It was pretty hyped up then and I were 2 nights so I can see it during the day. I would have to say it was one of the most boring things I've been involved in. Pretty close to watching paint dry or grass grow. It took so long for the moon to cover the sun I was pretty much bored out of my mind. Back then we just squinted and didn't have special glasses. I probably saved my eyes because I really didn't look at too much. It was pretty cool when it got dark during the day. It had an ominous feeling to it next day watching the eclipse, Boring.
If you are someone who was off of work and has a special glasses and plan to watch the eclipse have one suggestion. Imbibe liberal amount of alcohol and find a designated driver. If you're going to watch a rooftop somewhere around in the open please use sunscreen. Keep in mind that I am old enough to have seen the last one him tried to share the fruit of my experience!
