I went to Greenville, South Carolina to view the eclipse in 2017.

Watched it from the Greenville zoo.

There was a guy there, standing in line at the concession stand, talking on the phone to another person.

He kept telling the other person, in his native tongue, that he was in the "Food Line". After like 10 times repeating himself he burst out laughing "nah! Not the food Li-unn, the food LINE!"

Food Lion, for those readers who are unaware, is a regional grocery chain.

The zoo was an awesome place to view an eclipse, btw. Animals were going nuts. There were students there documenting their reaction with go-pros on many exhibits. But I'll never forget that guy.

2024 Eclipse we saw from the Perot Museum in Dallas. Also an awesome experience. They had live music and scientist commentary, and after the eclipse they played "Here comes the sun" and it was just perfect.

Had a very puzzling conversation about wells with a guy I worked with, finally figured out he meant whales.
