April, 2024 Newsletter
So, how about that Solar Eclipse, eh?…..I’ll admit that the lead up to the Eclipse, at least in Niagara Falls, seemed way over the top. A state of emergency delcared, road closures, sky rocket hotel room prices, estimating over 1 million people arriving…..I had zero interest in the eclipse because…
