Anyone watch the clips today? I was getting tired of the hype but it was pretty cool!

Those crescent light and shadow lines were so cool.
I hung out on the deck and watched the light change. We had 90 percent totality. So, midnight sun level light.
Bird calls changed, too.

The birds let out a strange squawk and then it was complete silence. No one was driving on the streets. The air changed, like it got very thick. I was coughing and noticed the neighbors were coughing as well. It was like swamp air in the middle of summer.
It was at most 70% around here. Maybe less. So it wasn't that big of a thing. Also we had some clouds, but I did get a glimpse through some of those glasses. I put them on and promptly tried to walk. Bad idea. I could have stepped in crap because you can't see crap with them on!
But it was cool to see the little bit of moon covering the sun.

I went to Sweetwater, TN. Totality. Horrible drive home. Completely worth it. I have a picture of what looked like sunset on the Eastern horizon. I have video and photos of a lot of the event, and especially of the totality, taken through a filtered telescope. Birds flew to roost. My dogs wanted to go to bed. The independent one lay down, the needy one cried to be snuggled (which is what she does before bed). I noticed there were a lot of car accidents right before and right after. Like... A lot.
