I remember in 1986 repeatedly going outside, looking up in wonder and curiosity, and scanning the night sky. Each time I ended up thinking, "Gosh, none of that looks like a comet. Why am I outside?"
We went to a lookout, out of town to avoid the city light, and looked up with a pair of binoculars. We clearly saw the comet but it wasn't until decades later that some individual coined a term that summed up my feelings perfectly; meh.
Times I actually saw Halley's Comet: 0
