    When the eclipse you’re waiting on, as you mentioned earlier happens, the sun should be easily visible.

    The local Menards had hundreds of pairs of eclipse glasses left early Monday afternoon. I checked the Menards website yesterday curious to see how many eclipse glasses were still in inventory and the eclipse glasses were gone off the website. I would not be surprised if they threw away the remainder. They had them on clearance last week already for $1 instead of the original $2. Minnesota was only getting a partial eclipse which is why the eclipse glasses did not sell out.

    Menards stores in a state that was going to see totality ran out of eclipse glasses a week or more before the eclipse. I saw something from a Menards employee saying they would answer the phone and immediately say they were out of eclipse glasses as that was the majority of calls.

    How Are Your Eyes After Watching the Eclipse?

    "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."
