Pattie

We (the terrible Jon-Pattie-Meg trio) went up to Derek's house tonight, sat on the roof, and watched the aurora borealis dance. There was one huge arc of misty white light from the eastern to western horizon, right above our heads, and it positively shimmered. We watched it expand, break, contract, and most impressively, wave across the sky. Jon got a few pictures of more activity (vertical curtains of more of a greenish tint) right over the city, so here's hoping they come out. I'd have to say the aurora borealis is one of, if not the, coolest phenomenon nature has to offer. This was the second most impressive display I've ever seen, the first being a massive red blaze almost all the way up the sky that I saw in Yellowstone one year.

Oh, and I have some new acapella music. ^.^
