    • Yes. The Amerindians of North, Central and South America never invented the wheel. Nor for that matter did they have any metallurgy, although they did have access to native copper, silver, and gold.

  1. Only a few good things about being stationed at Minot AFB, and The Rorin’ Borealis was one of them. One night it was so energetic we saw different colors! Stopped the truck and laid on the hood to watch the show until Job Control nagged is to get moving. Sure, Mom, whatever.

  2. The only way I get to see the Borealis down here in Florida is if I accidently eat the wrong mushrooms.

    • Yep, if they’re out and glowing when I let the dog out around midnight , I’ll throw on a hat and coat and stand out there and look at them. It has been a good year for them so far. Now that it’s dark again up here. My camera on the phone isn’t good enough to do them any justice and catch all the different colors.
      When they fire off it sends the yotes and wolves to making a good racket. I enjoy listening to them as much as the view.

      • You ought to be seeing some tonight, I get emailed when the sun flares and mass corona ejections and it has been going off to the tune of over 70 emails tonight about flares starting and ending, the sun is having a temper tantrum!

      • Awesome. Somehow I missed them in Keflavik, Naval Air Station, Iceland ’72-’73.

        • I never saw any while at Argentia NFLD back in the 60’s either. Probably not far enough North.

      • D.Ray, how do you tell the difference between midnight and midday, up there near the North Pole?
        You better watch out for polar bears when you and your doggy go out for a piss.
        BTW, the NSA satellite can read what you’re writing about in the snow when you’re having a leak. They report that the last anti-Biden slogan was in Miss Stacey’s handwriting, curiously.

        • That wouldn’t surprise me that she’s up here.
          But we don’t know each other I can assure you.
          I hear she’s possibly facing some felony charges and hiding in a remote native village trying to avoid arrest would make sense.

          And the satellites are as thick as the fleas in that thing growing off your face. They don’t concern me because they’re plenty visible on a clear night.
          It’s the drones I worry about.

      • Deathray any certain month of the year better than others if I ever get to head that way.

        Screwed up many a year ago, Aunt lived in Anchorage, had a cabin on a lake. Grampa drove up there four times when I was a yonker but never took advantage myself.

  3. I stood on the top of the parking garage at the anchorage airport and watched the AB at 1 am while smoking a sinse bomber and drinking a few Henry Weinhard’s. It was glorious. Circa March 1980.
