Im on my way to the Mojave desert ( where the space shuttle first landed). The phenomenon of modern light pollution has robbed even the joy of stargazing. Did anyone chance to see the rare southern display of the Northern lights recently? I was out making a fool of myself field testing frog spears ( my fishing gear review will probably carry the disclaimer " no fish were harmed in the making of this article, members of PETA were on hand and the utmost consideration was taken for their safety").
