Northern Lights

[namaarie]

Northern lights are out strong tonight! I live in central Iowa and can clearly see them both north and directly overhead. Really rare. Anybody in midwest, go outside and look north. Always fun to see so far south!

Here in Hawthorne we have mountains to the north, south, east, and west. However, in lieu of visual effects, I can do audio...

Listen children and you will hear, ( sorry, wrong poem )

The Northern Lights have seen strange sights,
But the strangest they ever did see,
Was the night on the marge of Lake LeBarge,
That I cremated Sam McGee.

Now Sam McGee was from Tennessee - ( Yawn, time for med and bed. )

Think the fellow doing the rhyming was named Robert Service if you want to look it up.

It was indeed Robert Service. We had to learn that poem for school when I was a kid.

Really a tremendous writer.

Yeah- he had a quote on the lable of a bottle of Canadian Whiskey.

The Northern Lights were really bright last night up here in Wisconsin. Me and my wife were driving home from my parents house and we were quite amazed at the light show.
