The last time I saw an aurora was in Ann Arbor, must have been around
1990 or 1991. For some reason that year, they were appearing quite a
bit further south than normal.
I had an attic apartment with a nice view in the right direction at
the time. Also had a phone with a long extension cord and a handy
trick that let us shimmy up onto the roof of the house.
A friend from the station was visiting that night (Des Preston) so
the two of us made our way on to the roof, called into the station
and as I recall, spent next 20 minutes doing a live broadcast
describing the aurora right from the roof above my apartment.

I'll have to ask Des about that the next time I see him. :)

Re #181: Hey, Bruce!
Re #156-160: Joe, when are you driving that stretch of road?
I don't normally have a problem with pedestrians having the
right of way even when jaywalking, but the way they've set
those particular lights up, it's hell. The lights are short,
they're all no turn on red, and it's congested -- though the
congestion's getting slightly better as more and more people
learn that the State St. shopping area isn't worth it any more.
It's a road rage incubator.

It varies, but usually around 16:00, I think. I haven't been getting out
in the morning, so I've not tried it at noon, that I can recall. Oh,
wait: I took the kids to Cottage Inn for lunch on Wednesday. We were
seated around 13, plus or minus fifteen minutes. I came down State and
parked across the street from the restaurant.

Straight across on State isn't (relatively) bad in either direction. What
hoses you is if there's s turn involved (State southbound on to William may
be okay).

I guess it's just timing. The one time I can remember going from North U to
Liberty in the past week, I saw how short the left arrow was, only three or
four got through, but I was first in line on the next cycle. I _probably_
could have pushed the yellow, but I try to avoid that.

Re#184: Howdy, howdy Joe!
Re# 183: You have an email address for Des? Been trying to catch up
with him for a while. Wasn't able to find him last time I
passed through Ann Arbor.
So anyone have any general announcements when the solar storm is
suppose to (or supposed to have) hit abd blow out all our
electronics?

Re #188: Thanks for the invitation! I went to a Pioneer show a few years
ago, and it was a lot of fun. Is there a poster online that I could tape to
the fridge, so I won't forget?

Tonight is the end of Daylight Savings time. That means two things:
1) Set your clocks BACK one hour. (Yay! Sleep in for an hour)
2) Change your smoke alarm batteries.

Smoke alarms squeal when they have low batteries.

Besides, they always start squealing at 3 am.

I wish to announce that I hope that everyone affected changed their
clocks from daylight to standard time. (Computers nowadays tend to
be pretty good at doing this on their own.)

I always find one clock that I forgot to change several days after I
fix everything else. Each year it is different. This year, I'm
pretty sure it will be the clock in my car, primarily because I'm
not going to worry about it until some idle moment at a stop light.
Also, I wait until I need to change the VCR clocks before I mess
with them.

Jim just changed my clock so I have to stay up an hour later (but I won't,
and this way I can get an extra hour of sleep since the garbage trucks will
come an hour later tomorrow morning). My computer does not need to be changed
because we never changed it last spring.

We don't have DST in Japan so I'm afraid it would just
really confuse matters to reset my clock!

Timer on living room lamp needs to go back an hour. But if I
do it now, it will be dark.

Yes. It ended last night, when the Marlins won 2-0. I think the game was
played in the Yankees' home stadium, too. :)
