Your words captured the essence of the northern lights perfectly! Logic flees, leaving wonder and mystery! My husband is fascinated with the weather around the world, so he's been giving me updates on Nova Scotia's weather once or more a day. Stay warm and dry! Ours is schizophrenic here. We've had record matching cold and heat. Poor pronghorns and other critters!

I too spent time in the north and the northern lights when at their best are like a charm that empties the mind and heart of logic, leaving only wonder and great mystery. Sure hope you are well and that it is not too cold where you are. We are having an "old Fashioned" winter in Nova Scotia!

I am full of excited electrons! If I ever slow down, you are going to see an aurora borealis sparkling and centered over Aurora, Colorado (and it will be singing Katy Perry's "Firework!")! All five of us are rivals! It can be very interesting when we all get together ~ but we love each other powerfully in spite of it all!

You may even want to go back every now and again and label old posts. I started originally and got befuddled and stopped. I keep saying "DO IT, Ron, Don't be a fool!"

Maybe one day you and Jim can take a trip to The North and see them!<br /><br />And I'm glad that you enjoyed the aurora photos ~ I finally had to make a donation to Wikipedia because I use Wikis so much! I am so visual! <br /><br />The photo of Roy and me cracks me up. It always reminds me of a spectacular fight Roy and I had canoeing in Lansdowne House. Roy got to sit at the back of the canoe to steer it because he was a boy, and I was mad about that. I was stuck in the bow. I didn't know then that the bowman set the pace and provided the power. I wanted to steer. So I refused to follow Roy's directions, and the canoe was spinning around in the water off the Hudson Bay dock. Roy was yelling at me for doing it wrong, and I was yelling at him for doing it wrong, and our frustrated father was on the shore shouting at us to bring the damn canoe in! It's one of my fond, fond memories of The North! Another 50 years on and we're still sibling rivals! Too funny!<br /><br />I loved that sign! That discrete paper bag contained someone's legal purchase! As I had planned, I was at Annie Oakley's in Black Hawk on New Year's Day to observe the historic event. I wanted to wait in line to go upstairs to the MJ part of the store, but Terry was in no mood to wait at least an hour so I could get a photo. It was about 1:00 p.m., and the line was very long. And OMG, an important football game was coming on at 2:25, and T was rearing to get home for kickoff. AO's was taking names, but you still had to wait in line. Our votes cancelled each others out in two elections on the issues of medical MJ and recreational MJ. I probably wouldn't have been happy standing for an hour or longer, anyway, because my feet were a little sore from jump! jump! jumping! with the band members at the NYE party in the wee hours the night before. I had planned to do a blog post on the MJ rollout, but like many imagined posts, it didn't get written. I'm so outta control, Ron. My mind is shooting off in all directions these few days into the new year ~ like an untied, inflated balloon that someone let lose!<br /><br />But I solved my computer problems ~ got the next operating system and 3 new photography applications installed ~ learned you can't put boxes into boxes in Aperture, it has to be boxes into folders (that little misstep caused great gnashing of teeth and tears in my study), and yesterday I stumbled across how to add labels to my blog post! Notice my lovely labels below. <br /><br />And I'm starting to get caught up on reading my favorite blogging posts! And I have visions of future posts to write dancing in my head. Oh the joys of being The ADHD One, as my siblings so kindly call me!<br /><br />Have a happy day, Ron! Hugs to you guys and belly rubs to SD. And thank her for being appropriate for me ~ winkers back at you!

You and Audrey had me spinning around in bed last night trying to remember all the books I read this year! I finally got up and made a list somewhere around 1:00 a.m. This is my perpetual state ~ shooting off in all directions! <br />I'm sorry about your eye. that must be so frustrating! I goggled macular Joel, and found Dr. Joel Schuman, so I'm guessing that yours is a funky eye, no understatement! I've been using magnifying glasses to read lately ~ pain in the tush! But, determined reader that you are, I hope you are curled up, warm and toasty, with a great book.

I saw them once, briefly, on an overnight flight from Canada to UK back in 1985, sadly was too tired to really take it all in - plus sitting on the wrong side of the plane to really see them properly.
