AuroraCam

Spring and Fall are usually considered Aurora season. For reasons not completely understood, the Northern Lights are active during the equinoxes. I have a camera set up to watch for any aurora activity. This clip is a time-lapse of the northern sky between 11:30 p.m. on March 18 and 6:00 a.m. on March 19.

It is a condition in which the muscles of the esophagus don't function properly to push the food and water into the stomach. This video gives you an idea what is involved in the process of feeding Boone and why.....(we do this 3 times a day).
