Look on my Posts, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away
I’m maybe a 90 minute drive from totality. August 2017 was so cool, even if it was cloudy and the sun only had a little nibble from it. It still darkened enough at peak that the night insects started singing. The shadows on the ground through tree leaves had the same bite from them that the sun did. To add to the surreality I was working nights at the time so I was super ready for sleep and had taken an Ambien so I laid back on a hill and watched the clouds gently roll and melt into each other while waiting for it to start. I am glad I found this thread. I’m super geeked to have a totality happening basically next door.
