My wife is driving to the full eclipse today. I saw the full one in 2017. 99% is good enough for me today. I do remember the temperature change and the crickets. It was neat to experience for sure.

I agree with GreatBam. Not life changing. Maybe a bucket list check the box item, but life changing as a description? I don't remember anything in my life changing after the last exclipse.

I guess if you stare right into it without glasses it could be life changing due to torching your retinas...
