That's just about what I was seeing last night.

It's a truly amazing sight.

I'm holding out for the color show, though.

Maybe I'll see it tonight...

I stood on an icepack in the Yuckon. It was cold out, but bearable. Maybe 40 below.

It was midnight, and I was looking at the stars - it was impressive, how many stars you can see, without city lights around you. And the nearest electric light to this spot was a long, cold, fifty mile hike away.

I felt my mustache - icicles again. Oh, well. It was funny, how the moisture from my breath would form into icicles.

All of a sudden, the sky lit up in the most phantasic electic blue - filled with swirls, it looked like a galaxy had come to visit. To my night-adjusted eyes, the light was brilliant - one of those things that confirms, in your soul, the existance of God.
