When I am in Knoxville, if it rains like that, I can stay outside and watch it. In England, it would probably turn colder while it was raining and I would want to go indoors.<br />Last night, the weather man said that from Yorkshire up to Scotland, it might be possible to see the Aurora Borealis if the sky was clear. Here in London, there would be no hope of that but I was more than tempted to go up to Yorkshire because it is a sight I have never seen before and would love to experience. It is very unusual for it to be see as far south as England.<br />Hope the rain cleared the air of hot-dogs!<br />Blessings, StarStella Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699491230987143490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-10487012114838663342010-08-06T12:57:30.581-04:002010-08-06T12:57:30.581-04:00Sacrificing a brown dog?
