The pines were roaring on the height,
The winds were moaning in the night,
The fire was red, it flaming spread,
The trees like torches blazed with light...

Tis the cold mountain range of the Norwegian dwarves and here is the evidence that they are keeping the trolls locked into the frozen far northern regions.
There was an amazing auroral display here in Chicagoland in what? ... 2007? something like that. It was noted in the papers, but I never saw anything reported that matched what I saw. I kept going outside to check periodically, and on one of these occasions, I saw what appeared to be huge bright sinuous beams, extending from horizon to horizon, and undulating on a subsecond time scale. It was absolutely mind boggling. Of course, they weren’t actual beams, but really the bottom edge of a “curtain”.
I’ve never gotten over the scant attention that this got, but that’s the way news works. Aurora? Ok, aurora.
There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.
