As everyone around here already knows, Cleveland, Ohio lies within the 124-mile-wide band that on April 8, three days after this newsletter appears, will experience the area’s first total solar eclipse since 1806. I am quite amazed at the excitement this has caused. All the schools will be closed, and the entire area is likely to be one enormous traffic jam. This being Cleveland, the first thing to be skeptical about is the weather: the prediction so far is “mostly cloudy," which could mean anything. Yet already, a week away, there is a combination of party atmosphere and suspense, like that on Times Square waiting for the ball to drop on New Years’s Eve.
Very interesting post! Thanks, Michael. I did not know about Joseph Campbell's last projected book, "The Way of the Celestial Lights" and wonder if someone at the Campbell Trust is working on it now. ¶ By the way, my sister and her husband are awaiting the eclipse in Willard, Ohio.
