    This I find is more amazing. Both the art and the creation of life...

    Oddly, I live in Virginia on the Chesapeake... which is close enough to the Atlantic.. all you do is go 45 minutes southeast, I was born in Sitka, Alaska, and no, the northern lights aren't as great as people make them out to be--They look nothing like what you see in the photos. I've also seen a KKK grand wizard do one of those preachings... and I know a black guy in the KKK who is obsessed with Techno music. My uncle was in the KKK.

    And remember, anything is possible in Hollywood.

    Despite the old stereotypes of being an SCV member, I condemn all hate groups like the KKK. It sucks major ass that a terrorist organization like that took a good flag and put it to shame. That's almost as bad as some of the Lincoln administration and Republican excuses to go to war, at the time.

    They'll show up a few times a year in central Wisconsin, and my friends will be so amazed and amused by them. I lived in Alaska too, though, where you can see them every nite, even in Anchorage. like Burby I find the creation of life to be unimaginably more interesting.... :p

    and sled dog racing. go to alaska to watch a sled dog race, not for the northern lights. :D

    Yeah, I'd rather go to Nome for the Iditarod. 256 days until the Iditarod XXXV.

    Now that's a real sport. :D

    Haha, oh yeah... My mother is raising a team of huskies that she wants to race with in a few years. It costs around $10,000 to enter in the Iditarod, but you also have to finish a few smaller races before you can race in the big one.

    We have 9 huskies right now.... 6 of them are only a couple of months old, but whatever.
