Status: offline 		That was gorgeous.  I do wonder how the the world someone came up with that explanation?  One of my dearest desires is to see the northern lights some day.  They were happening when I was flying in a airplane once but I was behind the wing with a bright white light.  I saw nothing.

Status: offline 		I thought the video of them was pretty, but I'm thinking seeing them in person must be a little like my reaction when I flew over an active volcano in a helicopter: the color I saw was not a color that I'd ever seen reproduced in photographs or video, no matter what the quality. I think that seeing the Aurora Borealis with the naked eye would be much like that. At least I hope that it will be.

Actually it's the formal name of the flower for which I was named.

Linnaea borealis, commonly known as Twinflower (sometimes written twin flower) is a woodland subshrub, treated either in the family Caprifoliaceae, or sometimes in its own family Linnaeaceae.

But enough about me......
