Good Morning. It's beginning to feel like fall. Our first school bus just went past.

Good Morning from Illinois- school is in session and it is actually NOT hot-- of course we were room temp of 112 last week so we are still cooling off ! We are counting our Blessings this week

Hello again!
Where is Yooper and he magnificent´s animations??

Don't tell me there is another fire up there! Looks like smoke on Tech's Ripley 2 motion cam.

What's up? I went back to check Tech's Ripley 2 motion camera again, and all the motion cam links had disappeared. There is still a pic of the smoke on Ripley 2 still image.

Got up this morning at barely first light to let out the dogs, and the northern lights were impressive, even with dawn light and moon light in the sky. I will be out looking for them tonight.

Why der you are Yooper...missed you and your animations.
Trying to dig out from some piles of paperwork by next week...so I can go home to Michigan. ;) Working...working...working...hang on, I think I can actually see some of the floor in my office. Working...working...working...

I have some photos of the recent Rice Lake fire in my gallery

The above gallery is in my name (Carl Kiilunen).

Gus LL, Great pics of the fire...it is so amazing how the fire fighters were able to control the fire...just imagine all the damage that fire could have done, if it had not been for their efforts, hard work, and dedication.

Honest, I'm working...honest. See: working...working...working...

I looked for the northern lights very late last night (here in Wisconsin) but saw only a very clear, star-filled sky. When is a good time to see the lights?

sur5er, you are working so hard you are making me tired!

Mrsrock630, I took a break and went outside to sit...but the darn Indiana version of the black fly season is upon us. So, the nipping black flies sent me scurring back into the house...so much for my break. And now, there is another black fly flying around my office, that got in when I stepped outside. Now, I can't really work, because I am swatting at the darn flies and scratching my bites. Ouch!

Swat!Scratch...scratch...scratch...work...swat...

Cool..The bridge cam finally caught the Ranger coming in this afternoon.

I looked for the northern lights here in Toronto
without success, but then with all of the lights
here it's hard to see the stars.

Had many opportunities to view the stars and
some meteor action while on vacation in the
UP for the past three weeks. Glad to have
eaten lots of UP foods, picked berries, visited
relatives, attended Finn Fest, struggled to use
a little Finnish with visiting relatives from
Finland, and took a side trip to the Apostle
Islands.

Now that our daughter is living in the UP and
our son is in the US Army, my husband and I
are wondering why we're all alone here in
Canada. Must be the fact that our jobs are
here.

sur5er, pick up the flyswatter and the fly magically disappears! Gotta go, off to night class. See ya!

Yooper, good to see you back. We so enjoy your animations!!
Does anyone know what time to look for the northern lights? I'm not sure it they are visable here on the Sunrise Side. Have a good evening everyone.

Sunrise Side, Hope this link to MTU's Geological & Mining Engineerings & Sciences Dept. helps.
