Really capturing the zeitgeist here
Voting has officially begun... for Michigan's first ever "I Voted" sticker contest. Can attest, there are some good ones in here, folks: forms.office.com/Pages/Respo…

Up North last night the aurora was mostly dim. For a couple minutes though we caught the sky exploding with light. Not as vibrant as the night before, but more active and just as bright.

My handheld shots could never do it justice, but seeing a solar eclipse from the path of totality is earth-shakingly cool. Driving down to Ohio was absolutely worth it. Included: video of me losing it at the moment of total eclipse.
