Just looked at my wx station data.  Temp dropped from 90 to 83 then back to
90 degrees.
I should have stayed at home where the skies were clear.   But instead my
son and I traveled to Little Mt. SC where just after a few minutes after C1
clouds covered the rest of the eclipse.  So far I've found no one willing
to share their prozac.  Looking forward to the total eclipse of 2078 where
I can stay here and be in totality.
