rootofnewtmy parents sent us a fluttering, flying, eyes-a'glow bat toy. i need to figure out a place to ceiling-mount it so that it attacks boy on a regular basis.
boy and i took off for a nighttime drive tonight. and we *did* manage to see very faint and dim aurorae... pillars that occasionally broadened or turned reddish. as i said, it was dim... and we saw them over the Shenandoah valley, so there was some light pollution. light pollution, however, doesn't creep and crawl visibly up toward the milky way.
still, i won't count this as "yay!" so much as "okay, i need to see it again. with better conditions. further north."
we came home and i carved the big pumpkin. the shadow-casting bit doesn't work so well, but the rats look really nice in front.
'm going to go to bed now. mmmm, sleeep
