This week, we are in South Texas, spending time with our kids. Well, at least, the two who are still at home. Their school district has the week off for fall break. They started school mid-August this year, which earns an extra week that happily aligns with things like hunting season.
We’re visiting Sea World San Antonio, and this Saturday, we are lucky enough to be dead center of the annular eclipse. We didn’t plan it, but it brought with it an opportunity to show you exactly why we started this business.
Many of you visiting us for the first time may have ended up here after you were handed a packet of free, Certified American Original, solar eclipse glasses. These solar glasses are made in America at a factory in Tennessee. You’ll find them on Amazon alongside a lot of cheaper priced products, made mainly in China, and then shipped into the US. Many of those competitively priced products are fakes that don’t meet the safety standards regarding safe solar viewing.
Know that the person who handed them to you represents 1/4 of our current employee base. Whether that was our founder (me), our CSO (Cheif Support Officer) who tirelessly listens to my ideas and watches me agonize over every purchase I make; our lead art designer, or our future lead programmer. We have a lot more work to make this place into what we strive to be. Let us know if there are any great products you think we need to share with the world.
Thank you for taking the time to check out the site. And, we hope you enjoyed safely viewing this rare event and the rest of your day at Sea World.
