Aurora Australis, or the "Southern Lights", glow in the sky over the town of Glenn Ourua near Palmeston North, north of New Zealand's national capital Wellington on April 1, 2001, in the area's most dramatic display since 1989.

wow that is amazing katyzzz,

the Sun is arcing up right now, we just dodged a huge solar ejection bullet the other day, but scientists say we will be hit by one of these soon.

Satellites will cop it, electricity grids too, and some suspect the electormagnetic field around Earth could get distorted to the point that major physical changes could happen....stayed tuned, we might be in for a bumpy ride!

cheers

Thank you for such a well informed comment, fog, and it seems the world is already disaster bound, that little extra should boost it along.


Strange happenings are afoot and you see it all despite the fog.

Incidentally, out there is a little dog who would just love to have you adopt him/her, you just have such a lot of love to give. Sure, one or the other of you is going to pass on but the loving relationship until that happens would know no bounds, yes, I know, I'm a nag. What's new?

well katyzzz,

thank you for the kind consideration, but, it is not only a huge emotional wrench for me, but pugs need special care, do not like being left alone, so they have to go everywhere with you, if you really care about them, and at the end of the day, I just do not have the money necessary to look after a dear little pug, or any dog really.

The vet bills are often and expensive.

But, should WHEN I win lotto, I will get not one but at least two pugs, and a pug sitter!

Maybe you would like to be hired as pug sitter sometime?

cheers

What a great laugh you gave me, fog, and back in the good old days there were heaps of dogs who never even heard of a vet, let alone saw one, I'm sure there'd be some mutts out there, about to be put down as a result of their owner's "inconvenience" who'd love you to bits for the bare essentials of life.

But I do understand your very deep feelings and when you win that lotto (or perhaps your adsense will suddenly rocket, although mine seem to be descending rapidly) I shall gladly babysit your dogs, free of charge, if you only lived a little closer.

That's not a 'come on' in case you're thinking of suddenly arriving on my doorstep, although under better cirmumstances I'd be delighted to have you, especially as with your being of a different persuastion I'm sure I'd have nothing to fear.

Aah haaaa! Katyzzz, maybe safe, maybe not!!!

Actually, you would be safe, and after winning lotto, I will have a mansion and a chauffeur, so I will be able to bring you to Pug Palace in style, and even pay you!

I also intend having a chef, butler and a maid!

So you will live in style!

Actually, I had a school friend who did have all that and more, five household staff!

cheers

yes, they were obvioously budget conscious...

They did not have a chauffeur either!

Sooo slack!

But, all the staff were inhouse, and wore these pale pastel blue or pink uniforms, and they all looked like overstuffed cakes with pastel icing!

But, I have never had a better 'burger' than the one they made, for lunch one day; a perfect pattie, crumbed so finely it was like sand, and really delicious, but not in a bun, of course, sitting on fine china with a few condiments arranged about, and we ate it with antique English Sterling silver cutlery.

We lunched at a huge dining table, sitting about 14 or 16, surrounded by very old oil paintings, portraits of their ancestors, glaring down at my impertinent personage!

Those were the days!


cheers
