Prepare for something pretty cool tomorrow. Starts about 1pm, maxes at 2:27, and done about 4pm here in the Detroit area.

I've declared tomorrow a casual Monday and wearing jeans to work.

I don't really plan to stare at the sun or anything but I will probably glance in the general direction. Do I need glasses? Where do I get them

Put your phone in selfie mode and look behind you.

It's my 24th anniversary today, is this some kind of sign?

I saw a few people interviewed this morning who proclaimed this will be a life-altering event.

As far as I can tell, that will only be true for those that stare at the eclipse for too long with the naked eye.

again, I don't mean to downplay the significance of it - but it's just gonna get sort of dark-ish for a couple of minutes, right..?

I had a golf outing yesterday. I drank a lot. I was texting my wife who is up north that I think there's a solid 1% chance the world ends today.

The temperature will drop a few degrees, the severity of which depends on how close you are to the path of totality. In no event will it reach ice-age proportions.

A welders helmet will work but it has to have at least grade 12 glass. Grade 14 glass would be better.

Think I'm gonna leave work at 1 and watch the eclipse at home. Be interesting to see how birds and other critters react.
