No aliens in my memory, but I recall how romantic the nightly displays of the aurora borealis were. I'm really looking forward to more.

That's not romantic, at all!

Apparently some folks think power outages are romantic as there is often a "baby boom" 9 months after a power outage.

I heard the displays were pretty where there were no clouds as far south as Houston, Texas. We, sadly, had rain and fog all night - maybe tonight there will still be some activity! Does this mean there will or won't be a population drop in Chicago in 9 months? After all, we were still inside!
