Hey [BLEEP] you too buddy

Did you get your money's worth?  If you think so, then more power to you.  My guess is that it was a less-than exciting event.  In case you missed it, sunset is approaching...

I laugh at the people that actually traveled to view this event and I give kudos to the many people that actually made money off of them.  I saw reports of land owners charging $75 per person to view it on their land.  Get 100 or so stupid people on your property at $75 a head... that's a good little bit of beer money.

While you're here being condescending to those who actually like to witness rare events, kids are playing on your yard, unheeded.

Even with clouds, it was very cool. I'm not quite understanding the need for derision.

I keep kids out of my yard.  No need to set myself up for some kind of lawsuit.

My "derision" comes from how the media hyped this whole thing up so dramatically including the "countdown clocks".  Heck, on the radio this morning they were warning about "traffic problems" and talking about how the "temperature would drop".  School hours were adjusted because of course we don't want any of the snowflakes being hurt.

None of that happened.  People were flocking to areas willing to pay money for a very short time-frame of sun-down, dark, sun-up (or something close to that).

Here in Jacksonville, it got darker but it's hard to decide if it was because of the cloud cover or the eclipse.
