I seem to remember that when I was a kid we made something out of a shoe box or cardboard to make a pinhole camera to watch the solar eclipse.

How do you like Tucson? We drove the 06 S to Tucson for the USC Arizona game, then on to Surprise to have lunch with friends, Sedona, and the Grand Canyon. We had fun in Tucson and that little old wild west little town just outside of town.

BTW, an annular eclipse occurs when the moon is farther away relative to the distance to the sun, so the dicsc of the moon doesn't completely cover the disc of the sun. You can't see the corona, which is the atmosphere of the sun. You get a ring. ("Annular" comes from the Latin word "annulus," which means ring.) Here is one of my shots from St. George, UT in 6/12:
