Solar Eclipse

I had a realization after the fact. Besides it getting hard to see/darker, it cooled off, a breeze came up and I thought I felt a speckle of rain and felt like it was about to rain. Weather channel later confirmed rise of humidity, temp drop as part of the expected effects.

I couldn't tell a humidity change but the temperature definitely dropped. I had to run back to the house to get sweaters for the family.

I'm kind of kicking myself for not traveling for the one a few years back, as it wasn't too far away. It was pretty trippy at my place though, despite being a good distance from the actual path.

If you can travel to see one I assure you being in the path of totality is completely unlike being "near" it, as it's the only way you can actually look at it, and it's spectacular. Spend part of the totality looking through binoculars as the prominences I saw with them are one of my best memories. I watched the 2017 one from an 8000 foot peak in eastern Oregon. I did not think I could match that this time so I let it pass.
