Great! My wife says I don't communicate well anyway. I'll just tell her it's not my fault---it's the solar flare!

It might happen as this solar flare was stronger. X class they said.

Compared to Canada, it's south.

What time should I expect to see auroras? I might set up a telescope.

They didn't say what specific time, but they said all the effects should start up tomorrow morning. I guess it depends on where you are when it starts. For you, it'll start earlier. I hope y'all got some nice weather to see em if you get any.

BTW... I love Canada... (I'm originally from Massachusetts) I grew up going every year to my grandpa's hunting cabin out in East Chuckafuc*, New Brunswick on First Eel Lake... It was so beautiful and serene... no one around for miles... no running water, no electricity... Manually pump for water... wodd stove for cooking and heating, Old kerosene lanterns for light... 2 room main cabin, bunkhouse for sleeping in, small boathouse for the canoes and dories...

I love Canada too ^_^

That sounds like a dream..
Someday, if I ever get the chance to go to the Maritimes, I will have to check this place out.

When I go up north, that's what we have :)

It's kinds sorta been my dream to go back to that old cabin.... when my grandpa died, he left the hunting camp to my Dad, his 2 brothers and my Aunt... when the oil embargoes of the mid-70's hit, my family had to sell because it was just too expensive to travel to New Brunswick regularly, and in between, we had no one to care for the old place... "Uncle" Lawrence who did was getting on in years and not as able as he used to be...

Part of me would love to go see the old place again, but part of me wants to remember it the way it was from my youth...
