I should dearly love that the world should be ever so little better for my presence. Even on this small stage we have our two sides, and something might be done by throwing all one's weight on the scale of breadth, tolerance, charity, temperance, peace, and kindliness to man and beast. We can't all strike very big blows, and even the little ones count for something.
-Arthur Conan Doyle, physician and writer (22 May 1859-1930)

@mattvanswol @grok When did this happen?

[NJSailRacer @NJSailRacer]

@HandyGingerGal Grok says that one year was the traditional standard, but Emily Post now says 3 months. That’s less stress for sending thank you cards

[NJSailRacer @NJSailRacer]

@HandyGingerGal Usually yes, but not always.

Vocations which we wanted to pursue, but didn't, bleed, like colors, on the whole of our existence.

The thing that makes you exceptional, if you are at all, is inevitably that which must also make you lonely.

Most creativity is a transition from one context into another where things are more surprising. There’s an element of surprise, and especially in science, there is often laughter that goes along with the ‘Aha’. Art also has this element. Our job is to remind us that there are more contexts than the one that we’re in -- the one that we think is reality.
-Alan Kay, computer scientist (b. 17 May 1940)

@LASHYBILLS Notice how all of the men in the comments are agreeing with her, and the woman are saying "No, no, we don't do this because it's his fault".

** POTENTIAL NORTHERN LIGHTS THURSDAY NIGHT **

The Northern Lights may be visible for the entirety of Pennsylvania (on the horizon) Thursday night with potential G3 solar storm conditions. Here is the cloud viewing forecast for tonight. The cloud outlook appears more favorable for many locations, as we will see mostly clear skies with some areas of high-level clouds that shouldn't hinder viewing.

Keep in mind, aurora forecasting is very difficult, and it is not a guarantee that it will occur tomorrow night. As of right now, the SWPC does hint at a G3 solar storm. It is still not a guarantee we will see auroras in Pennsylvania, but it is looking quite possible.

**Travelling long distances is not recommended (high risk, although high reward). **

If this storm occurs, all of PA will see these auroras. To be able to see the auroras, you will need a good view of the northern horizon, away from heavy light pollution. **YOU WILL NOT SEE AURORA IN HIGH-LIGHT POLLUTION REGIONS.** Smartphones & digital cameras will best pick up on the Northern Lights. Your eyes will need to adjust to the dark for at least 30 minutes as well. The best time will be after 9:30-10:00 pm or whenever the last light on the horizon disappears at your location.

I will continue to provide updates and let you know the latest details on this potential geomagnetic storm.

Stay tuned for updates!

When you re-read a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in yourself than there was before.

The difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels: it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant.
