Yeah ... me too ... it was in Boston and I remember going to a hilltop to see it and I was maybe 8 or 10 years old

I remember not looking at the sky like a lot of the adults were, but being mesmerized by the color of our clothing and how it had changed ... not like black light, but another spectrum that just fascinated me.

In a few minutes me and my little brother left to go to school ... I remember it being in the morning

The last Solar eclipse (partial) I can recall seeing was in the mid 90's - occurred around midday on the east coast. Nothing to write home about, but it was strange walking down the street at 11:00 a.m. in twilight. The birds were making a racket setting in for the evening - and of course we were back to full light shortly after noon. IIRC, that eclipse occurred in April - an April where we had a series of 100 degree days. Maybe that's where Algore got the idea.

I remember a partial eclipse in 1984; there were hundreds of solar crescents on the ground beneath a tree where aphids had left pinholes in the leaves.

Glad I took photos.
