Archie said that the aurora is bad again tonight around Minnesota and
Wisconsin. I guess Mitch won't be listening then.

I'm in NJ and about as far as you can get from Colorado, so I use my
'atomic clock' to tell me how conditions are. :)  If the indicator
says it didn't sync last night, I know things weren't good.  I was
very happy a week ago when it read sync'd every day for a week. I
miss the midwest...
