My excitement level is severely lacking.
I did witness a near total eclipse back in the spring of 1994. Erie was in the path, and it was there covering Tom Ridge's run for governor. I will admit it was cool, but it did not live up to the hype.
Parents are taking their kids on trips into the path of totality, and that is absolutely fantastic. This is a great shareable moment. Other than that, I can do without the mayhem. Warnings were posted about traffic issues. Hotels in the path of the eclipse are charging outrageous rates.
View it, but do so carefully. And, please, keep your sanity.
