I never have seen them...
That... doesn't mean... I never will... though. Dammit... does it?
Wow. Its been so long since I have seen Northern Lights. I live in the NE US now, and its kinda sad that so many people in the world have never seen them. And never will.

Good Morning. Maybe some good weather to see the shorting stars that usually show up around this time of November.

One less bear in the 'hood
"A small brown bear died after being hit by a pickup truck Friday morning, in a South Anchorage collision which left the driver uninjured according to local police.
APD spokesperson Jennifer Castro says dispatchers were informed of the crash, involving a silver Chevrolet pickup truck on a curve of Rabbit Creek Road near its intersection with the Old Seward Highway, just after 7 a.m. Officers arrived at the scene shortly before 7:30 a.m.
“The bear had hit the side of a vehicle -- the vehicle essentially ran over the bear,” Castro said.
Castro says the bear didn’t survive its injuries from the collision, walking some distance but ending up against a guardrail near the crash site.
“The bear had died when officers arrived at the scene,” Castro said.
Biologists with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game were called to remove the bear, arriving at about 9 a.m. Rabbit Creek wasn’t closed by the crash, but officers conducted traffic control during the response."
I drive this way at about 6:10a, daily.

Thank you for the reminder, thør- *note to self, road salt needed*
Were you out in that ? You have my sympathies. Some forget how to drive in the rain.

Wave when you come through. And, make sure you have time to see a place that's over twice as big as Texas.
