Molly sent me the link to this video just now.

The last time I saw the Aurora Borealis was one summer when I was staying at a house by the Pacific Ocean and had driven in to Olympia to attend a meeting. Driving back, late at night, I was caught by surprise when the sky erupted into shimmering waves of the Aurora Borealis. It wasn't as intense as in this video but was amazing nonetheless. I pulled off to the side of the road and watched.

I have never seen the northern lights. I have always wanted to. I remember one night when I was about 5. I was in bed and could hear my parents and some neighbors outside talking. The next morning I was told that they had all been outside to watch the northern lights. Apparently they didn't want to get me out of bed to come look. Thats the closest I have been to seeing them.

I remember a cartoon from probably the 1930's. An evil walrus was playing a giant organ in side of an ice castle. Northern lights filled the sky. It was rather frightening. I wish I could find it now.

My 'rents were goofy in many ways but they always rousted us when something interesting was afoot.

Yes, but has the sun ever risen in the shape of heart before?
