    Yeah, you can choose a charity when you're making a purchase. I usually choose the MS or Humane society.

    Exactly! I support causes for Autism for mine. Their list is getting better and more comprehensive all the time.

    Just looked into the Amazon Smile program. Decided to decline using it. It said that in order to use it, you have to start at the Amazon Smile page rather than regular Amazon, when ordering something. In order to do that, you have to install a browser extension called "AmazonAssistant." That in turn gains access to your browser and web content. Specifically, it can read the content on web pages that you visit, including any user names or passwords that you enter. It can also read and *change* bookmarks! I don't think so, Tim!

    Yes! I saw that ! So awesome! They were even able to zoom in on them! So cool! We finally had a good night, and I did take some cool pictures of some strange clouds. It was pretty cool!

    Were they NLCs? I'm going to have the camera ready and get up an hour before dawn tomorrow (assuming that it's clear of course) and try them. We really can't see the western sky from here. Do you have a good photo editor on your computer? Sometimes night shots need a little help to be at their best.

    If you've been using that for a while, it's possible that you didn't need to install it, and that it's something new. It asked permission to install and after I examined it, I decided not to. There's a book I want to order so I'll try going through the Smile thing w/o installing the app. Will let you know. It sounds like a wonderful program!

    I am not sure, but they were certainly different than ones I had seen before. They were really cool! It's getting ready to rain again. (Ugh!) I am hoping to see what I can do with the pictures to see if they were.

    I love spaceweather.com. The pictures on there are beautiful! If what I saw were NLCs, then anyone further north than the 44th parallel should be able to see them right overhead!
