I lived in Alaska for almost 35 years and never saw any auroras as beautiful as the ones I saw as a kid living in a small town in the Washington Cascades during the winter of 1956. I had a Seattle PI route and delivered papers in the predawn darkness. The Northern sky was filled with huge long multicolored veils that looked like curtains hanging in the sky.
It has been a while, and we know how memory can be misleading, but I remember seeing greens, blues, reds and pinks in those veils. I am still in awe of those auroras. That was also the winter with the greatest snow fall I've ever seen in my life. Made walking a paper route with 100+ subscribers through that winter a monumental task. Tried to get rid of it but couldn't get a taker before spring.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
