It is the biggest event ever hosted by america, and with all the excitement, its easy to forget that our eyes actually dont like staring at the sun in the middle of the day. Lets get some vital viewing advice from dick debartolo. I got my glasses. You should get your glasses and they should be stamped to meet safety requirements of iso 123122. These meet that requirement. Bought them on amazon, but then i got an email from amazon that they could not verify that these glasses meet that standard and to throw them out and a refund was coming. So now they went to the nasa website, found a supplier that they recommend, bought another set for 20 for 10. Then i read an article that you should check your solar glasses to make sure theyre not scratched or wrinkled. Now my new glasses are very wrinkled. So i cant chance using them. You can check yours before you go out. Im not taking any chances. In a few hours, im going out using this. Thats best idea. Thats the way to go. Good tips there, thanks, dick. Now lets bring in ali roggin. She has trivia for us. The Kansas City Royals are getting in on some of the eclipse mania. Me they have an off day at home. They all live near the path of totality.

I do have an app on my ipad to track it. So im very excited and very interested to see it, no joke. Its the not all sports managers heads are that blase about it. Hes quite into it. Theres a lot of talk about where we get those coveted eclipse glasses. We have an embarrassment of riches on this desk. One place folks have been flooding is their local public libraries. You might be surprised to learn. Thats because a group called the Space Science institute has been giving out 2 million pairs and theyve landed at over 7,000 libraries. Most of them have already been handed out, but if you havent gotten yours, it still might not be too late. Some libraries are holding onto a portion of their glasses for folks going to view their Solar Eclipse parties. I ordered mine weeks ago, and now im feeling like it wasnt quite a nerdy move after people ordered months and months ago. Youre going for the subtle look. Im going for a little bit of bling. If you think thats hot, it gets better. Kendis is putting the sun in your eclipse. Just in case theres a little bit of rain. Not everyone is going to be lucky enough to get glasses like kendis. If he can work them correctly. But some folks have been wondering what they should do for their canine friends during the eclipse. Thats a good idea. But according to nasa, see, the thing is, you dont have to worry about protecting your dogs eyes, not because we dont care. Chances are your pets are no more likely to stare at the sun during the eclipse than they are on any regular day. But look at this. A quick search of google reveals plenty of options if you feel like protecting the doggies. Theres a chance. You dont want their eyes to get messed up. Will the animals act kind of weird during an eclipse . Yeah, apparently some of them. Dogs do that . Dogs are part of that category. I think some of the while wild animals may feel like its time to go to sleep. There may be retreating into wherever they go. Take a nap. Keep your pets indoors, right . I feel like thats more common sense. Just dont lynda and i were talking about what would be on our play list for the Great American eclipse. I was saying, moon dance was mine. Yeah, i like that one.
