Lex Anteinternet: I've experienced total or near total solar eclipses...: and I can't grasp why a person would travel to see one. It seems like an extravagant waste of money to me.
And in pondering further, having experienced two total or near total eclipses, and quite a few partial ones, I really can't grasp the "big deal" nature of it. Shows how rich of a society we are, however, that people will actually spend money to travel to experience one.
Next week, everyone will be back to complaining about the economy and that taxes are too high.
Really, while I hate to complain about leisure, traveling to an eclipse, unless it's a day's trip, is really extravagant.
