My wife and I got up early the morning of the eclipse and drove the short distance to Cookeville TN within the two and a half minute totality range. We waited for a couple hours before the beginning of the eclipse when suddenly it started to cloud up so we jumped in the car racing west on I-40 chasing clear skies. We made to an exit where the sky was clear just in time. I must say it was one of the most intense things in my 63 years and I lived through the Kennedy assassination as a child, the first man on the moon as a teen ager, and later the 9-11-1 terrorist attack in middle age. There is unequivocally nothing quite like looking with your eyes in the sun! I live to see another! --Robert Cumming
