Given how bad the northern lights shows have been of late anyhow, we missed Saturday's show due to being overcast but the conditions tonight should yield some faint greens low on the horizon as far south as my location. Yeah, right. I don't feel like driving 30 miles north to escape the constant orange glow which we now refer to as "night". This sucks. Growing up in northwestern MN I always took it for granted to be able to walk outside and look up. Northern lights, stars, whatever. Now, just the incessant glow of orange light keeping me safe from the boogeyman while I sleep. The boogeyman doesn't exist, but the auroras do. I'd kinda like to be able to see them outside my window again...
