My neighbors were sitting out in front of there house so I drifted over with the dog around 2:35 until about 3P.
Lucky me they had one set of glasses. We passed around the glasses like we used to pass around something else in the 70s. Do not bogart the glasses!
All kidding aside, I am glad I got to see it. As others have said, I too expected it to get darker... I guess that is because I do not have much experience with solar eclipses
