I wuz on my way back north after sailing in a race on the Cape
Sunday night... about 9 pm, saw what I thought to be the Aurora..
got north of all the lights in Norway ME and sho 'nuff.  They'd pretty
much dissipated by the time I got home.  Not the most vivid display
I've seen around here, but rather pretty, nonetheless... kinda hard
to drive and watch the sky, though (to say nuthin' of added risk of
smackin' a moose whilst distracted.

Northern lights... moose... sailing... mountains... summer...
autumn.... winter... spring... c'mon, people, could there possibly be
a better place in the world than New England?!
