"We Could Have Stopped This Eclipse, If Only Mike Pence Had Had The Courage"

By Hubie and Bertie

The solar eclipse in Montreal was neat! Our only complaint was that we wish it had lasted longer. The city of Sherbrooke in the Eastern Townships got close to four minutes of totality, but we only got one. Still, it was a once-in-nine-lives experience.

Here are some photos of downtown, beginning with about an hour before showtime. People's shadows started to lengthen at 3:25 PM. By 3:27, Montreal looked like a city at night.

In addition to the cheers that went up from the crowds of people at the Old Port, the quay, and on rooftops, the 360-degree sunset was one of our favorite parts. And while our smartphone camera may not have done it justice, we did get one shot of totality. This eclipse gets an A-plus from us! We cats loved every second, and we PURR.
