:wink2:Does anyone have any hot tips on where to procure eclipse-viewing shades before tomorrow's eclipse? (and at this late hour, :uh huh:!!)
Or any other DIY ideas besides the pinhole viewing? I'd really prefer to view it directly, if I can....
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!

Because this is not a total eclipse, some portion of the sun will always be exposed. To prevent eye damage, use eclipse glasses, a safely-filtered telescope, or a solar projector to observe the eclipse. You can make a handy solar projector by criss-crossing your fingers waffle-style. Rays of light beaming through the gaps will have the same shape as the eclipsed sun. Or look on the ground beneath leafy trees for crescent-shaped sunbeams and rings of light.Solar eclipse resources:

Many of my neighbors at our condo complex were in awe of the way the eclipse was revealed in the shadows of the leaves of the trees. I captured several minutes of it on video.
My thanks to those who planned the meditation at Ragle. It was quite special.
:sunshine: We are blessed.

My wife and I managed to take some unusual photos during the solar eclipse . Take a look at these pictures from our home's side wall. The light filtering through the tree's distinctly shows a repeating pattern of the eclipse. The shots show the phenomenon of crescent Sun shadows being cast under trees as the light polarized and the leaves focus the image on the wall.
Here's a shot from my cousin in Reno where the eclipse was at 100%. It was taken through a telescope.
And this Fairfax man reflected it through binoculars and got great shots including of some sunspots. https://abc123xyz.com/projects--/eclipse/
That is exceptional. Thanks
