Who needs colanders when you can simply punch a few holes in a piece of cardboard and view the eclipse safely and indirectly from there?
Course, I ended up missing everything because of clouds and rain when the near totality hit my area (South Louisiana, near Lafayette). Got a little dusky, but didn't know whether that was from the eclipse or from the rainclouds. Oh, well....maybe I'll be alive in 2050 when the next one hits near my area.
