Man, I've never in my life seen the northern lights. (Outside of photos).

Had to work through the night one time about 12 years ago and caught one of the best I've ever witnessed. Has to be the right time and place to see them. If you can be outside the city/town and catch the right time, they can be spectacular. Obviously, the farther north you are, the better.

Today is looking like a big day for those that partake in storm porn.

I wonder how accurate that is. I would like to see them again but almost have to plan to get out to the farm to have dark enough skies to the north...

Saw them once back home, late summer after maybe my freshman year at ISU. Noticed it was bright out the front windows after shutting off the TV (prob watching Friday Night Videos for those that remember). Looked and thought, "oh must be the football game" but realized it was totally the wrong time of year, and way too late at night. Went outside, noticed glow moving around, and figured it out. Crawled up on the roof and watched for an hour or so, until I got tired & cold. It's quite a thing if you have never seen it.

Is this that big relatively new complex just off I-80 at Middle Road? Looks like quite the deal.

Yep! TBK. The Bet Plex, whatever you want to call it. Great place to play, they serve beer, etc. Always windy and when it's in the 40s with snow and rain, I'm glad we are staying home.

Nothing but a money grab, tournament officials trying to host a USSSA baseball tourney in March. "hey, let's make sure the kids learn to hate this sport by playing in the most miserable conditions possible"
