I expected some stories to surface in regard to yesterday's eclipse and I wasn't disappointed. Authorities in Florida (of course it was Florida!) arrested a suspected car thief who pulled into a Harbor Freight store in Kissimmee to buy a welding mask so he could view the eclipse. The 22 year old was arrested standing next to the stolen vehicle viewing the event. It seems like he could have timed stealing the car a little better so he could have viewed the eclipse at his leisure,but at least he was safety conscious enough to think of protecting his eyes...of course again if he would have planned better he could have purchased eclipse glasses for $1.99 which is considerably less than a welding helmet.
