Hi Ray :)
Yep... the Northern Lights are something to behold... and This time I
saw on the weather reports that a couple three nights ago they were
visible in Park City Utah!
The question I have is has anybody every seen the "Emerald Flash at
Sunrise/Sunset"? I have read about this (first time in a Clive Cussler
novel IIRC) and have tried to see it whenever I am viewing a
sunset/sunrise against a very wide/flat horizon... but no luck... is
there such a thing?
Art 'wondering again hehe" Bahrs
P.S. um no reference to the 3k unless you count that the it used to have
'emerald' screens for consoles? Hey... I can reach :)

Hi all,
Sunday night we had what's being described as the best Northern
Lights display in over 10 years (some say the best ever) here in the
North East Wisconsin area (NOTE, the lights were, according to reports,
visible as far South as Oklahoma!).
The light show started around 6:30 PM, and was still exploding
through the night sky when I went to bed at 11:45 (the news said they
lasted until after 1:30 am Monday morning).
I've seen the Northern lights before, but WOW, Sunday was almost
religious! I can't begin to explain it (nor can pictures do it
justice)...it's an erie and fantastic sight.
At one point, the lights in the Northwest sky were so intense
with the meandering, pulsing, fantastic lights, you could no longer see
the stars! Another thing I saw that I've never seen before was 'shafts
of darkness"! The sky was all ablaze with aqua and red, but rays of
darkness cut through the light in every direction...absolutely bizarre
to see! At 11:00 PM, you could see the lights across the entire
heavens...North, South, East and West!
Anyway, I can tell you that there are truly some beautiful
things to see on this planet, and if ever you get the chance, the
Northern lights are one sight that I promise you is as awe inspiring a
sight as can be seen...by all means, try to see it...you'll never forget
the experience!
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

-- WOW!!! What a Ride! --
