Ordered the glasses from Amazon Thursday morning and had them Friday morning. Also have a sextant which has a low-power telescope with sun filters. Sun is about 25% covered here right now and the light looks a little wierd.

I was in Turkey in 1966 in the Air Force when there was a partial eclipse. They didn't have nearly the pre-eclipse hype we've had and I didn't know it was coming. Don't think many of the local people knew it either. I was walking around in Ankara and it seemed like the sunlight was getting turned down. Thought maybe I was having a medical problem or something. Very strange feeling. I eventually figured it out and was able to squint enough to see that it was an eclipse.
