      Dang! I should’ve taken my kids out of school and driven them 100 miles to see the totality! I may never get another chance like that.

        Huge difference.

        As a kid I saw an annular solar eclipse (ring of fire) and thought it was pretty neat, but I wasn’t that excited for the recent total eclipse. Decided that I might as well just drive the few hours to give my young son the full experience.
        WOW what a difference it made when that last sliver of sun got eclipsed. Incomparable.

        Have you ever seen a sunset in 360 degrees around you, everywhere you looked?
        I have.

        It’s worth travelling for. There will be more coming!
