    It's been pretty. There's been a neat plantey/moon alignment thing going on too. My trip in to work this morning had a dawn in the east, auroras in the northeast, and that neat planet/moon/star thing to the southeast.

    Too pretty to really describe.

    After most of the snow from the freak 20 inches of it from September has disappeared and the weather is in the 20s/30s. Balmy for this time of year.

    The snow is back. We've had maybe 5-7 inches in the last 4-5 days. Just in time for Halloween. It's also the coldest day so far with temps not expected to get out the teens. This is still fairly balmy for a Halloween in Fairbanks. I'm prepared for 200 trick-or-treaters.

    I'm getting ready to run my weekly errands, but I am taking a few moments to check in here while I am enjoyed my breakfast tacos cooked with moose meat. I did not enjoy the moose hamburgers, but the breakfast tacos ROCK!

    I got this moose meat from a student who missed a week of class to go moose hunting. He shot one with a 65" rack on his first day out. You cannot buy moose meat in stores or anything like that here. Anyway, I teach some really nice students. He brought me the meat when I commented that I hadn't had any yet and I had been here over 3 winters.

    What do they usually dress up as - Eskimos?
    Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

    El Nino is going to hold off another cold one for at least another year.

    Keeps Alaska warmer.

    Maybe I should have been a little longer on the details:
    There have been multiple solar flares recently, one of which is expected to impact Earth in time
    to give a spectacular Aurora display on New Year's Eve.
