Can not wait until it is over and done. Actually sick of hearing about it. Lets see what news will be focused on after the eclipse is done...... maybe someing newsworthy??

Really? I think it's fascinating and am grateful to be alive at the moment to see one of the miracles of the universe in action.

To each her own, I guess.

I agree, but it will be replaced by the next 'shiny object' to come along.

Im sick of hearing about it too @SeaMaiden. Seems like we've had other "once in a lifetime" events that I can recall as being less than memorable. It's cloudy and drizzly here today of all days and probably couldn't see anything anyway.

I do think it's newsworthy but people have about lost their minds over this.

Even our local newscasters are now joking about how much they have to talk about it. Yesterday they were jokingly asking if they've mentioned the eclipse yet and one said "there's an eclipse? I've not heard about it."

I see today that a few news channels are going to be broadcasting for like 2 hours during the time of the eclipse. LOL Talk about overkill. I also saw on GMA this morning the lines of traffic getting into some of the areas that are prime viewing.

And despite all the warnings, I'm betting the ERs are going to be full this afternoon with people who hurt their eyes watching this.

Here in Missouri it's taken over the news, parks,boats and planes ! I understand the St. Louis lambert airport car rental companies are sold out, there are lots of watch parties in the parks, homes and at the Arch. The news has been interviewing people from all over the country and some from other countries as well. I am not going out, will be inside babysitting my grandson. I will watch on TV at time of eclipse. The TV weatherman is playing a song about barking at the moon ! All day event here in St. Louis

Best news of the entire year for me.

I think it is interesting, but I agree that people are acting obsessed over it. A friend of mine actually drove 10 hours away last night to be in the path of totality. I will watch on tv and look out my window if I remember, but it is not the focus of my day and I certainly would not travel to be in the crowds going crazy over it!!
