I'm sure it'd be cool to be in the path of totality.
But to take off work and travel miles to see it?
From NASA: "The August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse will last a maximum of 2 minutes 43 seconds.** About 70% of eclipses last longer than this."
Much ado about something - but only 2 min 43 sec of something. I'll watch on TV.
Why would schools be closed on Tuesday, too? That one escapes me altogether.
I think because the people jamming the streets will be leaning on tuesday?
