      And it’s also entirely possible to travel, paying a premium for accommodations and flights, to an otherwise dull, small town in Texas, and it’s cloudy that day, so you’ve spent thousands of dollars, planning an entire vacation to an uninteresting destination for virtually nothing.

      So when one passes by your doorstep, it’s worth taking time our of your day to appreciate it, if possible.

          In some places, yes. In others, no. My point was that it’s an unpredictable risk (and still worthwhile for many people) to travel for an eclipse, and its much more convenient and lower risk to visit when it passes by where you live.

          What exactly is your point?
