Yep, those 5minutess either side make all the difference.
It didn't really go dark except for that very small time frame, nor did the sunset effect kick in, and of course the ring of fire (mountains on moon) thing. You really couldn't tell a whole lot without glasses until that short span. There was this barking dog that really wasn't a nuisance, however he did it every time someone moved in his general direction, after the eclipse old-mister-barker was as quiet as a church mouse (and real friendly).
We went from Hayden (AL) to Lebanon and traffic back was stopped or hampered most of the way back. Waze app made a big difference avoiding several interstate wrecks and major snafu's, really appreciating it over the Tom-Tom thing. Allowed me to get back not much more time than normal estimated time, but it was on other US type highways.

We are only about 30 miles from totality. We decided to go to Rock Island State Park. No way I was messing with that traffic up there.
