I didn't have any glasses so I had kind of given up on it, but I decided to at least go out and experience it. I ended up being amazed by watching it through my senses. An hour before it happened the birds were first very loud and then all of a sudden went silent! I was watching my squash plant sitting in the golden sunlight and then slowly the sun on the leaves began to turn silver as did my whole yard, I could tell how far along the process was by watching the brightness of the sun behind my eyelids and my skin went from burning hot to cool as a breeze kicked up and suddenly gazillions of crickets began to sing. I could sense it was over as the whole process reversed itself....Very cool way to experience it. Talk about feeling connected to the earth.....This is the connection we all need to revive and use it just as the Native Americans did. Better to connect to earth than IPods....... VK

Awesome VK! Thanks for chiming in!
Here it was totally cloudy so not a thing could be seen unlike in the southern past of the state that my son went to and hopefully got some wonderful pics and videos. But it did go slightly dark here. And the birds totally stopped and the crickets were really loud here also.
