[ale] EHLO

[Lightner, Jeffrey]

A co-worker went up to Nashville (largest city in the path of totality) and told me that they had a view up until the sun was almost completely covered and then a cloud blocked the view so they didn't get to see the full eclipse.   He said when the cloud appeared you could thousands of people expressing disappointment.

You just KNOW some moron is going to try to sue the city of Nashville and/or NASA because of that cloud.

We went up to Anderson, SC.  Alas, it was cloudy where we were from 2-3 so completely missed the actual event.  It did get dark and some of the lights around us came on, which is darn cool.  But didn't get to "see"
it. :(  Kinda sad about that.
