This is the northbound side of Interstate 91 this morning with all the people trying to get to Vermont to see the eclipse. 🙄

I get that an eclipse is near and will probably step outside this afternoon to take a look. However, the level of mania around this event is ridiculous—people taking their kids out of school, driving hours, booking rentals and hotels? Crazy.

I feel like this whole thing has been turned into a meme, the astronomical equivalent of What Color Is the Dress or that stupid water bottle everyone was on about last month.
