Eclipse
I read today's XKCD and I have to realize that the eclipse is likely the coolest thing I've yet seen.
We spent over a day driving getting to and from where we watched the eclipse. Money on gas. Money on the AirBNB.
For 2 minutes and 15 seconds.
Was it worth it?
Yes.
Absolutely yes.
I've seen partial eclipses before. Cool stuff to be sure. But it doesn't hold a candle to a total eclipse. Not by a long shot.
Now I just want to see another one... I know there's another one in the States in 2024, but there are a couple other eclipses that'll happen before that. Now to figure out what to try for...
