If you're good with 80%, then you're good with 10%, why bother going anywhere?
Either you're IN the path of totality, or you're wasting your time. Period. Outside that path, it's just a cloudy day, you can see eclipses like that every few years.
IN the path is the otherworldly, once in a lifetime, absolutely incredible experience.
Imaging sitting there, knowing that that dude, sitting just, what, 5 miles away? He's experiencing something spiritual compared to your boring, everyday afternoon sitting in the sun. That dude? yeah...being crude...he's having...you know...THAT happen, while you sit and have an ice cream cone.
If you're OK with ice cream while that dude...well, you know what's happening to him...if you're OK with that, then stay home and watch the 30% or 50% or 99% eclipse, and wave to the dude who's eyes are rolled back in his head because...well, you know...
Or suck it up and get in the path of totality.
