You have two options then. There's Alaska/Northern Canada and there's Europe. I would say the European aurora is the most best aurora, no bias involved.

According to the news the aurora was seen in Britain again last night.  I wouldn't know because I would have been on the computer :D

That reminds me... it was even speculated that we might be able to see the Aurora's here where I live in the US, and I was super excited, then forgot to go outside and look because I was goofing off on the forum. Y_Y Oh well. Nobody mentioned it today, so I assume we got nothing.

Oh the joys of being internet nerds, we are protected from the glowy radiation.

You too huh? I spent the whole day on the other edge of the county at a conference on municipal development and planning, because I agreed to hold a presentation. When they asked me to represent the university at the thing my immediate reaction was "Yes, I shall be your chosen champion!", but actually preparing and holding the thing was a major drag.

At least I was awarded with beef stew.

It's a decent meal if you're a vegan.

Give them to your favorite lady/gentleman/Rash-Monster/giant robot.  Or stash the wine for future use and present the flowers to some elderly neighbor.

Congrats on the presentation, BTW.

recently I've been getting a lot of accidental calls and messages? like often from people who are asking me when I'm gonna finish their cottage?? what. it's a little intimidating because I feel guilty for not having done that yet and I don't even know what's going on. I suspect maybe someone put my number by accident in an ad or something. it has happened before. Some years ago a lot of people kept calling me to ask how much I wanted for that tractor. a lady on the bus burst out laughing at my distressing outbursts of "I DON'T OWN A TRACTOR!" into the phone.

That person must have really wanted a tractor if he didn't take your word for it. Maybe it's time to change number?
