BURLINGTON, ON
Me and my eclipse.
Well, I didn’t feel any emotional change.
It never got dark where I was – up in Mountsburg, a couple of km north of Waterdown.
Pepper Parr – taking in an eclipse. It didn’t get dark but the moon did cover the sun.
The chickens were walking around picking works, the clouds seemed to stand still, the temperature lowered and if I wore my eclipse glasses I could watch the moon covering the sun – but it didn’t get dark.
The coyotes and the foxes that roam the property were nowhere to be seen. The deer that show up on occasion were nowhere to be seen either.
But there was an eclipse and people did have their experience. Mine was kind of bland.
The Scotch that was poured was as good as the wine and Ray does know how to BBQ a steak – so the day was not a total write off.
My colleagues elsewhere in the city had different experiences.
Looks like you didn’t really want to experience the eclipse. A couple dozen kilometers further south it was spectacular.
Editor’s note: Had nothing to do with what I wanted – it just happened to be where I was.
