Why are we fascinated with eclipses? Yes, it’s cool to see but I certainly won’t go out of my way to see it. Besides, I thought they were more concerned with illegals?!
Some people enjoy watching (relatively) rare astronomical events. If you don't enjoy such things, you can simply go about your day as if they weren't happening.
When I was a kid, we had a total eclipse pass over our house
I still remember how, as it got darker approaching totality, the birds would start their “evening song” routine, thinking it was sunset ... then it was quiet for 1 minute of “night” ... then as it got brighter again, the birds started their “morning song” routine, thinking it was sunrise ... all this, in the middle of the afternoon
A special experience, and the combination of locality and good weather makes them hard to see ... go if you can!
