I had about talked myself out of braving the frigid far north for the chance to maybe see the northern lights. But then, this morning – I checked a “northern lights cam” a little north of Fairbanks.
That was pretty special. Maybe worth frostbite. Maybe.
On the other hand, these elusive saddleback butterflies are pretty special too. And, I have a chance of seeing them. While I am all toasty warm. Well, at least not frost covered.

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. H.L. Menchen, Baltimore Sun, July 26, 1920.
