<I thought you were making fun of people in the southwest.>

Missed that part of you post; no of course not.

It's pretty much along the lines that these astronomers make such a big deal of it it loses the effect. For example. Think back on how many times we've been told "this is the last eclipse of the century". Like a used car saleman or something.

Then you realize, Oh, the last partial solar eclipse appearing in Borneo at 8 AM. Or it's the last partial lunar eclipse seen in the Northwest. Perhaps the last full planetary eclipse if you are swimming in the Sea of Tranquility.

Actually the people in the Southwest have it better than I. I would have to drive to some remote area to be there at four in the morning else I cannot see it anyway.
