   Hi! Ed,   
      
   On 29 Oct 16 22:45, you wrote to me:   
      
    EV>> To that Happy place with Trees and Flowers and Beautiful   
    EV>> Birds.....   
    EV>> So That tune made it all the way to the Aland Islands.   
      
    EV>> I have it on a 45 R.P.M. Record somewhere around here.   
    EV>> The Flip Side is the same thing except the tape was played   
    EV>> backwards when the Record was cut.   
      
    PQ>> It made it here too, at t'other end of the world.  I have a MP3   
    PQ>> of it in my collection.   
      
    EV> Hmmm, somebody thought to put that old recording in a .MP3 file, Hmmm.   
      
   Well, it _was_ a video on EwwToob.  I couldn't just leave it there.  ;)   
      
    EV> Roger knows a lot.  (buttering up Roger)   
      
   Sometimes it's just too hard to say "no" to him...   
      
    EV> It is rare when an Aurora can be seen where I live on 38N Degree Lat.   
    EV> Spaceweather's web site iirc has photos of Auroras.   
    EV> They are real pretty.   
      
   I have several snapshots taken from a location in Lapland, IIRC.  There is one   
   video sequence from the International Space Station that specifically targets   
   auroras seen from 220 miles up, on EwwToob.  Very nice indeed.  I sometimes   
   use it as a sort of screensaver, playing it from a USB stick.   
      
    EV> Do You see them in the Summer when it's warmer to be outside to view   
    EV> them?   
      
   Nope.  Not at all.  We're closer to the equator here.  Too close.  Our mates   
   in New Zealand get to see them sometimes, as they're closer to Antartica.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
