Solar flare coming Tuesday morning 2:00 A.M. We gone?

Supposed to be the biggest since the 1800’s. I guess maybe disruptions to radio and GPS. Oh, and it just might melt the atmosphere and burn us to a crisp.

But seriously, Motown Kingston et Al, the aurora borealis is supposed to be decent.

Meh. As long as we all go down together.

We're going to party like it's 1855!!

Good thing I bought some SPF1000 this morning.

Great tune.

Seems like a good event for a hat.

Back in my radio daze, we’d have to pay special attention to our satellite programming twice a year, when solar flares were at their worst. It would start with a little static that got worse and worse. Eventually, it would peak with small blocks of dead air. Kind of a pita.

That’s what “THEY” want you to believe.

And I wonder how/if this affects Sirius/XM.

DWags is correct. Don’t ask questions that are too specific or you’ll get a visit from MIB.

I mean, you have NO idea how high this goes.

Maybe that's what happened to my stereo receiver. It went zzzzzt pop a couple weeks ago. It's in the shop now.

Until he thought Turkeys could fly. He was fired. Lucky he wasn’t prosecuted.

A long, long time ago. I can still remember how that music used to make me smile.
