RATS! I slept right through Patrick's call last night telling me about the aurora! A few hours before I had worn myself out trying to push my little Suzuki when its transmission burned up -- even though it's little, I couldn't push it uphill to get it turned around and let it coast back down 17th South. Anyway, I was so exhausted I slept through his most welcome call and only heard the message when I awoke around dawn. So now I can't write a firsthand account of the auroras. Can you all help me, those who were lucky enough to go out last night? Would you send me a few lines of your impressions, so I can include some quotes in an article? Many thanks, Joe
