    1. I live in Waxahachie, TX and was scheduled to deliver for Amazon today. It was overcast cloudy and I clocked in and was told that I'd be on standby, so I was cautiously hopeful. I waited and then got let out before noon. I gunned it home to my parents with a few breaks in the clouds and set up a bluetooth speaker playing Pink Floyd, had a neighborhood friend bike over to my backyard, and after "Eclipse" finished playing at 1:34 P.M. it was just 3 more minutes until the beginning of totality.

      It was the most awesome thing I will ever see in my life. 4 minutes of true awe that I probably will never experience again, right over my backyard. I completely understand now why people fly around the world to experience it, it is TRULY AMAZING, and that is an understatement. 😅

      The best part is the last 10 seconds looking through the glasses and seeing the light around you dim quickly until it looks like the sky before dawn or after dusk, and to see a black circle block a bright star that you can do absolutely nothing about is something I will never take for granted.

      After the Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 rolled through Waxahachie in 2021 and now 4 minute totality, I can say without a doubt that I have seen everything (except the northern lights, Starship launch, and the Milkyway Galaxy in person at a certified dark sky location) and can die now, and I wouldn't be upset.

      It's like the mountains, unless you've seen it in person, you won't understand until you do, because pictures just DO NOT do it justice at all.

    2. SO COOL!!! we only had 80% totality where i was, but there was literally no clouds in the sky and it was crescent shaped which is still sooo awesome

    3. WATCHED IT WITH MY 9 yr old HE TOLD ME IT WAS A MEMORY HE WILL NEVER FORGET🙏🏼 HOPE HE LIVES OLD ENOUGH TO SEE ANOTHER WITH HIS SON‼️

    4. Prince of Peace, grant me inner peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Calm the storms of anxiety and turmoil within me, and fill me with serenity and tranquility. May your peace reign in my life, bringing harmony and wholeness. Amen.

    5. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Bible

      “Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures”,

    6. As im watching the crowd in Mazatlan Mexico waiting for the eclipse, I see a whole different type & class of Mexicans that really differ from the Mexicans fleeing to the American border.
      What's up with that? They must be the rich, wealthy Mexicans my dad told me about.
      Share the wealth so that your own people don't have to flee for a better life that isn't any better.

    7. Oh man, I missed the eclipse because I was drinking. But I'm kinda glad, because my dumb drunk ass would probably had stared straight at the eclipse. 👍

    8. very good programme, entertaining and educational, thank you for putting this on YT…seeing people's elation and euphoria makes you realize how special the Sun is for us humans…it transcendends race, creed and nation…it makes you wonder…

    9. 1999 I was working on a telecom project in Frankfurt am Main,read/heard about this solar eclipse ,said in the meeting the day before " sorry I wont be here tomorrow somebody tried to break in to my rented car and smashed the back window and I have to take the car back to them"..yes I was lying …next morning 5 am on the train to Munich,what an amazing thing ,the birds stop singing people just looked up and said nothing
