I’m trying to decide if it’s worth a 600 - 700 mile drive to be in the path of this upcoming total solar eclipse April 8th. Ever since I heard that the elite fly all over the world to view them in Carly Simon’s song, You’re So Vain, I’ve had a certain curiosity about them. It seems most of the viewing glasses from many sources have been sold out so that would seem to indicate quite a bit of interest. I’ve got a self darkening welding helmet that I think may be suitable for viewing, but I’ve got to check the shade number as the American Academy of Ophthalmology says it should at least be #14 welders glass. Being as I’ve got a congenital birth defect in my right eye I tend to be pretty protective of the excellent vision that I still possess in my left. So, has anyone seen a total eclipse and are they worth a drive?
“Well I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your lear jet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun
Well you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with some underworld spy
Or the wife of a close friend, wife of a close friend and
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain (so vain)
I bet you think this song is about you
Don't you don't you, don't you, don't you now”
