[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These NOVA nothing special happened posters make me glad I live in DC where everyone I know was thrilled to have the chance to see it.[/quote]

I'm a pp who took exception to the "nothing special" posters too.  I'm in NOVA, watched the eclipse with a whole neighborhood full of awed viewers and have seen loads of socia media postings by NOVA friends and acquaintances who took time off of work to appreciate the eclipse with friends and families.  [b]Everyone I know was thrilled to have the chance to see it, and I can guarantee you that there are people in DC who didn't give a damn, so let's not turn this into some ridiculous turf dispute.[/b][/quote]

Let's also not turn it into a dispute about people being jaded vs not.  The "nothing special" posters (myself included) were people who were unfortunate enough to be in a cloudy area at the time.  Those who were thrilled to see it didn't have the misfortune of having cloud coverage at the peak.  Believe me all of you who thought it was pretty neat would not have had the same reaction if you had seen it from my neighborhood. [/quote]

But also, anyone not in the path of totality is going to experience far less drama than those in the 100% path.  Duh.[/quote]
