Amazing that this was done at home. I wonder how much damage happens to your eyes when you are getting something like this to work.

I spit on sun spotters.

They spoiled the spelunking in Spain!

How crazy would it be if you had a son with a dog named spot who could spot spots on sun spots while wearing specially designed sun spot spot spotting spats?

Fairly crazy I think.
