Our wings are not tired.

I've seen a bunch of great pictures. So many areas that don't normally see the lights. My son said it was cloudy so he missed out.

Today's air show a delight, but it is super hot outside. Tomorrow a bunch of family and friends coming to watch the noisy planes. I'm looking forward to hosting.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Are y’all talking about UK Ghosts or the American version? I watched a season or two of UK but haven’t checked out the remake.

Hoping for a fresh start for any Buffista who wants it, and especially you, Erika.

My brother took some excellent pictures last night in Seattle, he was on Sunset Hill.

Looking forward to Localista Smonster!

I have been living a sad, localista-less life for far too long. So happy.

Paid a deposit and signed a document today, so housing has been sorted! I will be a very short drive or a pleasant bike ride from Calli and Buffista-adjacent A.

Punishingly Intricate

We love both the UK and the US Ghosts! And enjoyed the Ghosts callout on an epic Dead Boy Detective Agency

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Congrats, smonster!!!

I haven't managed to see the lights. Friday night clouds rolled in before I got out of the theatre. Last night I walked over to the lakefront and hung out for a while but I didn't want to stay too late since I'd be walking back home alone. Apparently the sky activity started about 30 minutes after I left.

I think I like the US ghosts better than the UK one. The storytelling seems more focused.

Yeah apparently Friday was the night to see it. I tried driving about 30 miles out of town with a friend and we set up chairs in a park and sat there for about two hours before giving up around midnight. We saw many stars and some satellites but no aurora. Boo.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

We drove out last night to a park with less light pollution and a better north-facing view but yeah, too much cloud cover to see anything.

Our wings are not tired.

Air Show just finished here so I am in relax mode. Had a few people over so I had food and stuff for them.

Family friend who went to school with the boys is going to stay at the condo and cat sit while we are in San Francisco. She is an artist and is going to paint a mural for me. Her week here will give her time to feel the space and environment for inspiration. I'm pretty much leaving it in her capable hands because I am no artist. Excited!

Always Anti-fascist!

That sounds cool. Wish I could come and see everyone, but I have that thought so much, it could be like when Gmail tries to finish your thought.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I drove out into farmlands surrounding the city last night in the hope of catching the aurora, but no such luck. Oh well, wasn't a high priority life goal.

I did manage to remember to wear a mask while mowing today. So far no sinus pain afterward like I had last time, so I'm going to keep doing it.
