RE: Eclipse Day in the US: Who saw it? Where and how was it?

I can't remember the last time - but at my age, I saw at least a couple, here in Europe as well as in North America.
Interesting because it is rare. The Vikings thought it the end of the world - Ragnarök - when Fenriswolf swallows the sun. Seen a post on Facebook where some whacked out preacher talks about this being the sign of the end times. Of course one of those sects in the USA where there are more nutcases percentagewise in the population than anywhere else on this planet.
If we had one once a month or so, nobody would get excited about it. If you really want spectacular, then watch the northern lights. In the Arctic, you get that almost every day. Even as far south as the area of Canada where I lived I used to get it the odd time on very cold days.
