Want sunglasses to protect your eyes during the eclipse? Good luck

 
Deal! A hard-bargaining Norma Bengard of Torrance buys her first telescope from Mike Fowler, OC Telescope owner. “You’ve made my dreams come true,” Bengard gushes. “Now you have the whole universe,” Fowler replies at his Santa Ana shop on Mon., Aug. 14. She’s Idaho bound with her daughter and niece to see the eclipse, but says she’ll have to sleep in her car since every hotel she tried was booked. (Photo by Cindy Yamanaka, Orange County Register/S
