Aurora Borealis?
At this time of year?
At this time of day and this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?

Yes, well, except for the kitchen part. But there is a G2-level solar storm forecasted for this evening and if the clouds hold-off, as they're predicted to do, we just might be able to see it shimmering on the northern horizon. Provided we go somewhere dark with a clear view of the northern sky, for which I have some ideas...

Red Square @ 7. Roll-out @ 7:30

I'm down.

I was going to go watch two nearly identical mayoral candidates try desperately to differentiate themselves in a pointless debate, but spacelights sounds nicer.

Planning on it.

I always find it easier to avoid responsibilities on Tuesdays than Thursdays... but oh so much reading and arithmetic. Will try!

Lost the ride when I flatted on the way out of Disco Park on the Loop Trail in the dark. That's what I get for leading from the back... I tried to catch-up afterward but it was futile so I consoled myself with MD 20/20, Vitamin R and some pinball at everyone's favorite Center of the Universe bar.

No Aurora Borealis was seen, but we did get a nice firework show across the water beneath the waxing crescent moon
