    This popped up when I tried to access the site this morning, via a bookmark. I waited a couple of minutes, refreshed, and connected OK. Interesting that the timestamp is out. Steve.

    I did not see the Northern Lights, but we had a great sunset. I was only out until 22:15, and I got too cold to wait any longer. Steve.
