BTW these are great images again...and the train. You know I have this habit of counting all the train units, lol, so I actually don't mind being stopped...it is kind of entertaining to count them, time them and figure out how fast is the train going, or multiply all units by each train length, so when you find out that the train is actually 2 km long, that's wow! Ok, I am going now...Anna :)myonlyphotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07324578791902437827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531583969284889983.post-5055667822453718842008-10-19T21:39:00.000-05:002008-10-19T21:39:00.000-05:00Hi Bob,Be sure to say “hi and thanks” to Dr. Tony ...Hi Bob,<BR/><BR/>Be sure to say “hi and thanks” to Dr. Tony from all of the Astrostuffites that visit your blog Bob!<BR/><BR/>That Orion Syndicate is cold hearted!

It was just the thinnest red haze low in the Bakersfield, Ca. sky one night when I was a little girl. But it was an aurora! I've never seen the amazing streams of light you captured here, I hope to see it one day. I love that you put the recording on the video! Nice touch!<BR/><BR/>Seeing the aurora on you blog is a <I>little bit</I> more like seeing it for myself than seeing it on the news or seeing photos of it in National Geographic.

And by some coincidence we were stopped by a train at 2 AM for about twenty minutes during our travels too. I'll have to post a pic. LOL Jeff and I couldn't believe it. Why does a train stop right in the middle of the road when they have all that track?<BR/><BR/>Great pics and post as always. Jeff and I love your blog. :D<BR/><BR/>It's good to be back but we loved our 600 mile autumn tour and had a heart time turning for home. The leaves all starting flying off the trees, even swept into the open windows of the car, so it wouldn't have lasted anyway.<BR/><BR/>Hugs, JJNature Nut /JJ Lochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895220529481743313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531583969284889983.post-32791338666531096842008-10-14T08:56:00.000-05:002008-10-14T08:56:00.000-05:00love the pics, especially the train...very eerie.h...love the pics, especially the train...very eerie.<BR/>hey did you see in the news about the first ever newspaper in space? i haven't read it yet but of course thought of you.<BR/>i'm convinced you will make your millions somehow in outer space.phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10669096127325145722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531583969284889983.post-53602707131976259112008-10-13T21:12:00.000-05:002008-10-13T21:12:00.000-05:00Thanks Jesse you would really like the Auroras as ...Thanks Jesse you would really like the Auroras as everyone who has never seen them would.<BR/><BR/>Ah the Earth's magnetic reversal, just know about it from what I've read and the specials I've seen on TV. <BR/><BR/>We are in the midst of a reversal as we speak, we have one on average every 250,000 years and they take I think 6-10 thousand years to fully complete. <BR/><BR/> As far as having one by 2012, probably not, we would have seen more changes by now, no one is coming forward with a date for completion, this 2012 thing will be a lot more interesting then the 2000 scare we had, I had to get back up electrical systems in place for our mall,lol, you might remember nothing happened.\m/\m/Bob Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06582050569176409358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531583969284889983.post-29327921926127179162008-10-13T21:05:00.000-05:002008-10-13T21:05:00.000-05:00Lol, well said swubird, when I was at the Dominion...Lol, well said swubird, when I was at the Dominion Radio Telescope in Penticton they were on lunch and had donuts,lol\m/\m/Bob Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06582050569176409358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531583969284889983.post-28115318990867747522008-10-13T21:03:00.000-05:002008-10-13T21:03:00.000-05:00Thanks VV, you might try if you haven't already Fi...Thanks VV, you might try if you haven't already FireFox browser, IE7 doesn't work well with YouTube.\m/\m/Bob Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06582050569176409358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531583969284889983.post-63544423884346743632008-10-13T21:02:00.000-05:002008-10-13T21:02:00.000-05:00Thanks Troy, gotta like Dr. Tony Phillips, he does...Thanks Troy, gotta like Dr. Tony Phillips, he does a lot , well he is SpaceWeather.com, does a great job.\m/\m/Bob Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06582050569176409358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531583969284889983.post-84200809801355757962008-10-13T19:57:00.000-05:002008-10-13T19:57:00.000-05:00ah excellent!
