aurora

I looked up in the sky just like everyone else Saturday night. And just like everyone else, I saw nothing. I looked north, south, east and west, and no Northern Lights.

A solar flare that occurred around 2 a.m. Thursday morning may create a spectacular display of northern lights Saturday evening. The midlevel flare had a long duration and was directed at Earth.

Regardless of your beliefs, some things are just beautiful and amazing. This is one of those things.

The Aurora theater shooting has rocked the country, scared people into not wanting to do something as simple as watch a movie, and amped up the gun control/Second Amendment debate yet again. At the very least, it should shed a light on the shameful state of mental healthcare in this country.

This would be the day that I would normally recap the top movies at the weekend box office, but this week that doesn't matter. The senseless tragedy in Aurora is the the only thing weighing on our minds.
