Brian Lairer on WNYC and listeners, what about you? After all the buildup to yesterday's

eclipse, how was your experience? 212-433 WNYC, 212-433-9692. We're inviting you if you were in town or if you travel to be in totality.

In Indiana, where Omer was, up in the Adirondacks, or the Burlington area, or wherever you may have gone, call up and share your experience of yesterday's total solar eclipse.

Where did you go?

Who are you with is another thing.

It was cool for me to be out in my local park and see a lot of people had come out to enjoy the experience.

I know people who are parents of kids currently in school,

who had feelings of community with the kids,

whether it was out in the schoolyard or out in the park, wherever you were.

And what are some of the memories of the total solar eclipse

that you'll carry on with you?

What do you think you'll remember from yesterday?

212-433 W-N-YC, 212-433-9692.

I talked on yesterday's show about the one time that I was in a total solar eclipse,

and that one of the things that I've remembered ever

since was the birds kind of freaking out when it became dark in the middle of the day.

Yesterday, for me in New York City, it was kind of underwhelming except for the actual looking at the sun

through those special glasses and seeing the moon actually pass over the sun. That was cool.

But what I had said yesterday was, as my tip, if you go out to experience the eclipse, it's not only about the sun. It's about what's going to

happen as it gets dark. Maybe animals are going to move. Birds. It's going to feel weird.

There are going to be these interesting shadows. I'm not sure that happened very much in the greater New York City area specifically. So for me,

a little underwhelming in that respect, although it was still totally cool to see the moon
