Wow! A neighbor posted that the clouds had cleared and get out there right now. I posted a bunch of pictures. Amazing. I haven't seen them since I was a kid.
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Ugh I tried to go see the lights—grabbed a friend, went to the beach, stayed up past my bedtime, but no dice. Multiple people were there with cameras, we were not the only ones with that idea, but after about 30-45 minutes of cold and nothing we gave up. So jealous of all the amazing photos people got and yet somehow while being way north of most of them, nothing.

We were able to see them from our backyard. They weren't real strong though.

Been doing a round of corporate training today after just doing a round a couple weeks ago. This time is is privacy and the last one was ethics. It did get me thinking what like a Weyland-Yutani ethics training must be like.

A.
That answer is incorrect. Also, you are fired.

If only that were not so close to many actual corporations right now.

RIGHT??? I saw pictures from within a drive of us, but did we see squat when we went in search? No.

Man, people all over the greater Cincinnati area posted amazing pictures of the aurora borealis, but we are just too close to Downtown's light pollution to really get much. And we just weren't up for driving around.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I went outside a few times to see if I could see the lights, but I couldn't see anything. There's not too much light pollution here, but I also didn't feel like driving to somewhere darker or waiting. My cousin in New Hampshire posted some gorgeous photos.
