The Aurora Borealis
« on: March 16, 2013, 03:01:43 AM »
The Auroras were out in force last night.  Not just in the Northern sky, but all over the sky from horizon to horizon.  All the colors were there I'm told.  (I'm color blind)  But they were still beautiful to me as well.  Shimmering, dancing, with streaks flying across the sky.  Bands moving like big ribbons, twisting then coming back, as they move across the sky.  We sat out on the front porch and watched them till we got so cold we had to come in.  We must have sat out there for over an hour.  It's something you just can not understand till you have seen it.

This needs to be on everyone's bucket list.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

Sourdough, that's been on our bucket list for some time now. Being from Ohio it pretty tough to first get there and also to time it right to make sure we see them. I know Alaska isn't the only place to see them. We can go up into Canada to view them as well. We just have to figure out the timing thing.

Been there and done that.  Hey Sourdough, did those lights come with sound effects?  I swear that there was a kind of sound from them when they are right overhead.
