I didn't have the glasses so I rigged up a quick projector using a +1 closeup lens:

Totality at 54246

The sky was clear though which was nice - hope the folks in Indianapolis, Cleveland and Buffalo also had good viewing weather.  I gave up about 2:15 PM, there was kind of a cold wind.  The sky did seem darker but didn't see any stars.

Cue up the Peggy Lee song (it was popular in the olden days)

Kinda like Comet Kohoutek, Halley's Comet and so on, a little disappointing :)

I'll check the NASA live stream thingy on Youtube later, they had the best seat.
