Waaahhhhhh

According to today's News-Miner, the slow migration of the magnetic North Pole has sped up in recent years. It's moving fast enough that it may be in a completely different place in a few decades, taking the auroras with it.

In less than 50 years, the story reports, Alaskans may not be able to see auroras anymore. The aurora borealis would still be happening, of course, just ... not here.

It's really a startling thought. Of course, it's all just guesswork, as usual.

EDIT: The News-Miner story is not online, but there's a link to the original AP story here.

Woah. Tell that freaky cat of yours to get crackin' and come up with a plan!

The cat is too busy at the moment dragging his bedding all over the house for some damn reason. Check back tomorrow.

Heheheh! I'm glad you are enjoying it! Paula mentioned a couple of times that you like reading my blog.

I'm not sure if having a dragon on the roof would be lucky, but it certainly looks neat.
