On April 8, Cleveland will be in the path of totality for a solar eclipse.One hasn’t happened here since 1806; the next one won’t be until 2444.
People are losing their minds. Businesses and schools will be closed. Hotels have been fully booked for a year or more. Festivals are occurring. Bars and restaurants are holding special events. Traffic is predicted to be a mess for miles and miles around. All for a few minutes of the moon blocking out the sun, which you can’t see without special glasses to keep you from going blind.
You know what? I couldn’t care less. It’s a hassle, not a celebration. I’m an eclipse scrooge.
What about you? Are you “Team Eclipse” or “Team Meh”?
