Had a few people tell me how they are in the 90% path and didn’t see a reason for seeing totality.

I tried explaining it to them in terms of sex: “I was 95% close to getting laid! Sure, that was probably fun, but you should really see totality.” Realized they just didn’t think it was worth it as an experience. Their loss.

Yeah I traveled to a city for 1 min of totality because I couldn't afford a hotel to stay the night and had out from there. Totally worth, it's one of the prettiest things I've ever seen. Like a ring of absolute silver. It felt like night too because the crickets came out and started chirping.
