I must shout-out in grateful recognition to two Eclipse Escapaders who have each found ways to get the word out regarding the coming eclipse over Western New York.  

The first is John Szalasny, a talented writer for Buffalo Rising.   John has written five creative, well crafted essays for the online publication, essays that make clever allusions to great musical hits, refer to mythology, and deliver information.  Please follow this link to the fifth essay, from which you can find the other four essays.  Thank you, John.  Buffalo Rising: Spotlight on WNY When We Go Dark

Thanks as well to Newell Nussbaumer for his leadership at Buffalo Rising.  

The second spontaneous publicist is Charlotte (Tay) Tahk.  Tay has written a letter to the editor which was published last Thursday.  Tay has touched on the most salient points: an eclipse is coming, umbraphiles shall come, housing is called for, and we should be concerned about traffic.  Here is a link to her letter.  Thank you, Tay.  Solar Eclipse Actions Needed to Reap Rewards.

I have written a ten-page proposal and have sent it to twenty-six community leaders and to local media outlets.  I will share information about this proposal and who it went to soon.  Remember, I am relying on the mysterious might of many minds to magnify our municipality.  Please, supporters, continue to do what you may to promote the Eclipse Escapade.
