It's been a bucket list item to see the northern lights. Apparently this past week has been spectacular in North America even. Some of the photos from Michigan, Alaska and South Dakota have had amazing color.

Definite bucket list item for me as well. I was hoping to see them in October 2021 when I was sent up to Anchorage for work. It was too cloudy though so I wasn't able to... Someday though,...someday

So Kentucky is literally surrounded by 4 border states that can all see it, but cannot itself? Embarrassing effort.
Purely to piss me off and cause Seedy to take me on another trip off to chase tilted windmills one day. He'll be thrilled to hear about it too.

When stationed in Oscoda MI and flying the northern tier, the Aurora lit up the sky a lot. Amazing sight. Could never get enough of it. The only other phenomenon that comes close is St. Elmo's fire and ball lightning. Slipping the surly bonds tantalizes your physical senses.

Supposed to have been visible in Ft. Collins, but we didn't get a chance to see them.
