No need for it to make you sad. You're going to see it, and I'm going to have a quiet day at work. Win/win.

The Great American Eclipse Aug. 21 2017
It is very rare for the path to cross from coast to coast. That's true. Why that matters for anyone in any particular place? That I don't get. And again, Texas through Maine in 7 years. Not coast to coast. But pretty damn close.
I applaud your excitement. I just worry about others -- particularly those with kids -- who don't appreciate the risks. I'm also in shock at the amounts of money people are throwing at this.

All set for my early AM drive to get into the path of totality. I've be been waiting 45 yrs since a partial eclipse in '72 when an Edgecliff professor made me an "eclipse kit." I saw soon after that 2017 would be a "total." I ended up being a physicist in part because of these early experiences.
Hope anyone with a chance makes the extra effort and gets into the path of totally (or starts planning by for the next one in 2024).

Did you know the a man burned his retina looking at the great eclipse of '62? It's true! So be careful out there, kids.
This may have also been an After-School Special as well but I can't be certain.

It's great that an event like this can get so many people excited. I don't get the hype, and I'm not sure what benefits people will reap from looking directly into the sun for a few hours while wearing welding goggles. I anticipate the marketing campaigns will ramp up this week for the next eclipse scheduled for 2024.
Good luck sun watchers. I hope this doesn't turn everyone into zombies or white walkers."All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz and I'm fine.--Jeff Spicoli"
