We are in for a good season of northern lights

Winter to bring best northern lights displays for 20 years, scientists say

The sun is expected to reach ‘solar maximum’ between January and October 2024, bringing spectacular aurora displays

www.theguardian.com

And further research tells me that the US NOAA and National Weather Service there say that the chances of good lights are based on teh weather. And they call it space weather.

There's such a thing as SPACE WEATHER. And I am gonna get good space weather in 2024!
Maybe in Iceland, or Norway or fucking Montana

Fucking heck yeah!

SPACE WEATHER, BABY!!!

Am I going across town for a half days pay this evening? No, no I am not.

Am I getting paid for it anyway? Yes.

Unexpected day off. Haven't done anything with it, because tired. But then, tired.
