This Is Our Lubbock Eclipse Story

I was ready with a camera. It was cloudy. It remained cloudy. I gave up. We drove to the gym, wanting to get our exercise session out of the way. In the parking lot of the gym, near totality, I looked up and the clouds thinned just enough to act as a perfect filter. With no strain at all we very clearly saw the partial eclipse. We watched it for perhaps one second, and then it was obscured by clouds again, and gone. We had that very brief glimpse. With all the clouds, it did get rather dark for a time. And in the early evening there was rain, heavy in some parts of town, but not in the area where we live. Nothing in the rain gauge.
