I was in one of the areas where it was supposed to last the longest, yet it
seemed like it went by so fast!  I was at a house by a farm so when the
eclipse started, you could really hear the crickets start up!  I was with a
lot of people, many older than I who, even though they knew what it was
still seemed a little "convinced" that the apocalypse might be upon us.
The persons younger than I that were in the crowd seemed to enjoy it but,
if they saw it as a spiritual event, they were a lot more quiet about it. :)

The weather was super hot that day, but also more than clear enough for
viewing.

IIRC, there is an area in Southern Illinois that one of these eclipses is
going to cross that was also a hot spot for the 2017 eclipse.  Anyone who
lives in that area is going to get a second shot at seeing it.
