Hello, All -
This is still VERY MUCH up in the air! OTOH, that means lots of possibilities are open for suggestions / discussion / "debate" (such as it is these days) / dismissal and whatever.
PLEASE, if you're interested, let us know if you haven't already!!

p.s. It appears that Albert Alligator's poem "Der Mond Ist Aufgegangen" (from Walt Kelly's novel 'I Go Pogo' of 1952) will NOT be appropriate for 10/22/22 — in fact a new moon is predicted for 10/26/22, so moon-rise on 10/22 will likely be only a sliver, and long after all of the locos have returned to their respective engine houses and their fires have been banked for the night . . .
