The Eclipse....Underwhelming

Maybe it's a sign of age but after all the hype and new's coverage of today's solar eclipse, one word that comes to mind is Underwhelming...Maybe in the locations where there was a total 100% eclipse the experience was more exciting but locally one had the feeling of "Is that all there is".

 This isn't the first time the media has over hyped an event and won't be the last with school's closing , people traveling to remote locations and, employees taking off work for the amazing spectacle <sarcasm added>....  Granted  scientifically this was a significant,rare event but the next time the media starts plugging the next eclipse I think I will sit it out...

  3. there's no other place to be than the tiny area of total eclipse. seeing the stars for a brief moment is worth it. but you can't know that until you experience it for yourself.

  4. I agree with snowman. Went to TN and the total eclipse was something to remember. At least where I was, as it started to get darker, it was different looking than when night arrives or an overcast day. The evening bugs increased their activities and bats came out. The sun/moon was beautiful. I can see where people in Southern IN and Louisville would be disappointed, but there is no comparison between total and 95% coverage.
