old white Minnesota liberal. chases storms and auroras, occasionally brews beer. Maplewood, first ring burb of the Minnesota's Capital City, Saint Paul
As an oldster who watched decades of basic cable prior to streaming, the list of 90's movies I've seen many times is pretty long. But I couldn't ever change the channel when Twister came on...

Not to mention it's usually at least 25 cents a gallon cheaper, I filled up on Wednesday and it was 40 cents cheaper than the nearby Holiday store...

I wish people would quit rushing the holidays. I barely got my sign and drive decorations put away and we still have toyotathon. All seasons for a reason!

I have a tip to add as well, although I fully acknowledge that Facebook sucks, there is a very active group called the Great lakes Aurora hunters that has like 80k members, if you want to know if there's auroras going on anywhere, someone on there is posting pics....

I live in Maplewood and my usual place when I need it dark for auroras is here:

Square Lake Park boat launch, north of Stillwater...

If you're a Saint Paul type, there's a couple parks I frequent for pics in the NE burbs: Bellaire Beach on the south shore of white bear lake, and for really dark, head out to the boat launch at Square Lake Park, north of Stillwater

You can *hear* the auroras ringing...

We're smugly noting our superiority even though 2" of snow grinds our traffic to a halt and there'll be 100 accidents in the metro... But by God we talk shit about struggling through it!

This parallels my desire for a well manicured lawn and also a continued string of large dogs...

#MSP local angle: that sweeper is made by Tennant, whose HQ is in Eden Prairie and has several other metro locations in the Golden Valley area. So, buy/rent/ride a sweeper, support local jobs!
