| Can usually see it from my office building's parking lot.. Too cloudy today though, and a couple wildfires putting up too much smoke to see it....seems you lot 4k miles away got a better look at it than I did! Have to say, it's nice that after more than 25 years people still trek outside to watch it go off. |
