Aurora borealis in Crater Lake National Park. May 13, 2013.
We used to see auroras from time to time when I was growing up in Wisconsin. But the most spectacular one I ever saw was actually in Virginia a few years ago - it lit up half the sky, was practically bright enough to read by, and went on for hours.

“Cornel Rasor, chairman of the Idaho GOP’s resolutions committee and self-described ‘liberty person,’ said he would like to retain the legal option to dismiss or not employ gay people.
“’I’d hire a gay guy if I thought he was a good worker. But if he comes into work in a tutu … he’s not producing what I want in my office,’ Rasor told the Spokesman-Review.”
