That it is, and I will be glad when the whole damned thing is over. It's just a stupid eclipse. People are already gearing up - on the way home from Lowe's today, my wife and I saw some dude selling eclipse glasses out of the back of his truck, and people were stopping to buy them [not sure of the cost]. They're actually letting the school where I work at out three hours early so parents can "prepare." Prepare for what? We're only going to be at 80% here in east Tennessee anyway. When the 2017 one occurred, I was working in a school in Denver and it was the same thing, people were practically freaking out. That just goes to show that people will do anything to make a big deal out of something so insignificant.
