Doesn't this sound like a story in which someone time travels or teleports?
Yes.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

Well I am a) wondering why that would be happening and it's freaking me out a little, and b) about to go outside and look for the mother ship aurora borealis.
ETA: None for me.

People are reporting them as far south as Oklahoma and Tennessee, as far west as Kansas City, and as far east as New York.
I went out looking and didn't see anything. Boo.

I am quoting directly from this article (which I could just link and leave it at that, but I already copied the text):
The sun spit out a sizable Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) around 2pm EDT Monday. It only takes the light from the sun about eight minutes to get to the earth but it takes several hours for us to feel the effects of a CME.
SpaceWeather.com relayed a report from the Goddard Space Weather Lab saying, "the impact [of the CME] caused a strong compression of Earth's magnetic field, allowing solar wind to penetrate all the way down to geosynchronous orbit for a brief period."

AWB is slaying me with the awake cutitude.
Thankfully, AWB sleeps plenty. But those times don't make for as interesting photos. So when he *is* awake, I try to seize the moment (photographically speaking).

So, I went out to my front yard. Saw the Big Dipper, no auroras.

Oh, wait, hey! BABY! Congrats, Jon & FAQWife. It's fun catching them awake. Watching tiny brains explode with stimulus and "wait, what is that coming at me! It's attached to me! OW!" Or, you know.
