    Anybody get a good view of this? I was on the road at 6:37, and the sky was a beautiful purple and pink, but so far as I could tell the eclipse was blocked out by clouds. To be honest though, I had completely forgotten there was supposed to be an eclipse, I just remember the sky being pretty when I was in the car.

    Joe: I can do you one better. Not only did I not wake up in time to even look at a partial eclipse, I completely forgot about the eclipse until I saw your reply in my inbox!

    I forgot the moon existed and when I saw it I thought it was
    God apearing before me in the form of a glowing orb in the sky.
