Apparently there was a solar storm everywhere but my back garden. My run of not seeing the Northern Lights continues unbroken.

OPERATIONS: I should be scripting, but I have a couple of complex projects getting started and I want to figure them out, as well as a consult doc to finish and a doc for a tv company that needs a re-draft, so I’m still very much up in the clouds rather than on the ground constructing things. Newsletter went out this morning. Waiting on an EQ’d and underscored trailer build, marking up the boards and writing a schedule for the rest of the (rapidly evaporating) month.
