      @zachariastargazer Great to hear that! And I'm trying to wake up before I get to work, but may have to rely on coffee once I get there. Overall, though, I think that I'm doing pretty darned well, thanks! Reading up a bit on the M9 flare that popped off last night. Three nights in a row of M-class flares, all three aimed in our general direction!

      @zachariastargazer Yes, it's a little concerning, in that regard, especially since it's now looking like at least two of the three resulting CME clouds may have merged. They are predicting up to a 7 K Index storm tomorrow, as a result. At the same time, though, I can't help but be psyched that we might actually get some pretty lights this way. :) Right now, they're dealing with a low-level radiation storm as a result of all of this, but nothing the ISS doesn't weather on a regular basis. Looking at the D-region absorption maps right now . . . Wow. Definitely active out there.
