Northern Lights!

We saw the Northern Lights for the first time last night and we took this picture from our bedroom window. Also, "the Hair" is now in first in the Iditarod, and Tillamook ice cream was on sale for $3.50. It was a lovely night in.

In other Iditarod news, the trail has been unseasonably warm. The last checkpoint was 23 degrees. Usually it're more like -20. So the mushers have been trying to race at night mostly because the snow is too soft during the day. But I hear they've gotten great Aurora displays. I mean, if the above picture was taken from our bedroom window in the city, imagine what they're seeing 400 miles north in the middle of nowhere. Oh, and Mitch Seavey, Dallas' dad, sliced his fingers open when trying to cut the rope off of a bale of hay. He had to drop out. Poor guy.
