Great article! I liked how a few pet sketches shown to friends got FurBabies started… same as Georgia Dunn for Breaking Cat News. Love reading your comic every morning
Check out videos from ‘The girl with the dogs’, a groomer from Niagara Falls, Ontario…she grooms cats, dogs, some of the latter releasing quite formidable ‘furnadoes’
Drove to the northern shore of lake Erie, and with help of windy[dot]com satellite pictures, aimed for area with the clearest skies (which turned out even better than forecast). I noticed how much darker it was in totality in places with more cloud cover (like Niagara Falls). But because we had clear 360° view, we saw this sunset coloured glow all around the horizon while the sky straight above around the eclipse was pitch black. A reverse sunset. It got cold enough for me to shiver (lake breeze didn’t help), whereas an hour earlier I was warm in the sun. Heard a bird singing about a minute after totality ended. It was a great day, except for traffic doubling the drive home time.
Mmm…Gruyère, Tête de Moine, Raclette, Vacherin, Reblochon, Comté, and more locally, poutine cheese curds (but no fries & gravy for me, thx)
