Just recalled a day living in Illinois as a kid when it got very dark one afternoon. Was outside riding my bike. Nobody warned me it was coming. Nobody told me why it happened. Didn't bother me much, nature was/is beyond my control. I'm just along for the ride.
Looked it up online. Turns out that was July 20'th 1963 and was a 75% solar eclipse
