I went out to see the aurora borealis --what a let-down. There’s enough light pollution, even in Exurbia, that all I could discern were a couple of ghostly streaks zooming from the northern horizon upwards toward infinity.

Oh, well. At least now I can say I’ve Seen The Northern Lights.™

Where’s **BigDaiv** wandered off to? He hasn’t visited his haiku thread for a while. Maybe he’s gone off to catch **Angua** on the rebound?

I predict the next Doper to appear will be **Super Gnat**.

I predict I’m going to prove wrong my own prediction.

I predict I’m going to go to bed.

I predict whoever follows me will not predict me.

Carry on.

I predict that I will also go to bed soon.

Also, the next poster up will not be in this particular timezone.

Maybe… **BigDaiv**?

What? **NCB** , how the heck did you hear about me and…?

Hmph. And here I thought my secrets were safe with **Angua**.

Now appearing, as I disappear for hours, is…

**Happy** , just for the heck of it.

Say hello to the newest member of my family!

Allyssa Kay

My youngest cousin’s little girl. And here I am with a head cold, sitting on the computer. ☹ Well, I sent flowers and talked with her already. I’ll see her tomorrow, if I have to wear a surgical mask!

Mother and daughter are both healthy and happy. Specifics like weight and length to come later.

Celebrate the birth of yet another one of us! YEAY! 😃  
**Anyone**
