8th floor view with horizon cutting across the bottom third. From right to left, an apartment building and Target Plaza South fill the frame top to bottom. Then the sky opens up above the glowing neon WCCO call letters and the CBS "eye" logo against the DoubleTree Suites building. The dome of the Basilica of Saint Mary pierces the horizon just where the sky has the deepest glow from the setting sun. Loring Green East and the Hyatt Regency blockily sit to the left.

I can't debug the digital artifacts slicing across that image right now.

Frustration yesterday with internet resolved by this morning: "This afternoon, we were made aware of a fiber cut in downtown Minneapolis that affects the Hilton WiFi. You may experience lack of service in the lobby and your guest room. The Hilton is aware of the problem and is actively working to restore service."

I didn't see aurora last night -- i assume the city lights would have made that the case, but i also was wiped out. Some other time perhaps.

I've run through my big talk (little talk still neglected) -- off to breakfast and likely conversation instead of tippety tapping.
