I will never forget my trip to Fairbanks back in the winter of 1969. In the USAF, we were TDY for two weeks there. I enjoyed the time there. My crew chief spent the entire time drunk as a skunk.
On our last night there, we were preparing to leave. He, griping about how he hated the time there(he never left the base) and how he had not even seen the Northern Lights.
I simply said...”Well, look up.”
Above us the Northern Lights had been displaying it’s glory for the last two weeks, but he never even thought to simply look up.
It is amazing how much of the truth of the world is right in front of our noses—but we do have to actually look at it!
