    Husband and I watched in SW Ohio and got to see it all. We were both amazed; didn’t realize just how special it was going to be. But even in totality, it didn’t strike me as that dark. Looked more like that green tinge that shows up right before a big thunderstorm. Be careful out there! 💕

    I live right on I-70 halfway between Indy and St Louis and we got to experience 2.5 minutes of totality. Worth the HYPE! Kids here got the whole day off.

    Sat on the patio in SW Ohio with my wife of 60 years at me side and viewed the Eclipse from one side to the other. Looking forward to the next one, I'll only be a century old. See ya then.

    Hey SCHIMDT. That Eclipse let us few of us know how important we need the ☀️. Thank God that the ☀️ isn't blocked by the 🌒 for 24hrs. Which you already know from many years of driving. Sports season is here ⚽⚾🥎🏀🏐🏈🏉 which means crowded 🛣️ people going and coming from games. You and 🐕‍🦺 B SAFE

    They will wait another 20 years before the next eclipse. That is sad the school didn't let them experience it. I'm glad you got to see it. Thank you for the ride through IN. I miss it. I don't know when or if I will ever get back there. Safe travels, and God bless.

    Thought for sure you would share the last time you looked at the eclipse when it got a little darker and watching Opie to see if he behaved differently because of it as you recorded. He's is doing better, glad to see him not limping
    Be safe out there!!

    6:26 - "This sign brought to you by the letters 'F' and 'G'". Thought it was going to be, "This is an empty field. Once upon a time, it was oak savannah..." Obviously had money they didn't know what to do with. "The grant said there had to be signs... OK, lets put signs..."
