Greetings from Colton, NY and the
ROOFTOP OF NEW YORK STATE
aka "The North Country"
Huh? Wherezat?
North of Lake Placid, between
Lake Ontario and Lake Champlain.
It's a long way from New London and the ocean.
But ya know what? It's reeeal quiet up here.  I like it.

The NORTHERN LIGHTS are very visible here in the north country.
And during August the skies are full of "shooting stars" too.
They are called the Tears of St. Lawrence aka Perseid Meteor Shower.
