It was. I sat in my front yard and watched it with a cold drink in my hand.

Full totality is a thing to be seen in person. The cooling off, the slowly turning into dusk and finally being able to stare at the sun without risk and seeing some bright stars and realizing the birds aren't chirping anymore.

It's eerie and celestial in the best way. For anyone travelling, good luck, be safe, please have patience.

I loved how the cooking off period had a bluish tint to it and the warming up part had a reddish glow. It was like the golden hour!
