No, those are just sticking it to "The Man". :-)

I was surprised - total eclipses are actually quite common. They're just over the African interior, or the middle of the Pacific Ocean, or the Yukon Territories. So - when there was one more-or-less in my backyard, I took the chance to see it. Glad I did.

There's another one hitting the US in 2024(?). It's worth being in the path of totality. The difference between 98% and total is the difference between shooting a bullet, and throwing it. "Amazing" is a cliché, but - it was genuinely amazing.
