I've always preferred indicas, but Sour Diesel was kind of an eye opener as sativa-heavy hybrids go and I've appreciated the past few similarly slanted strains I've had a lot more than the previous ones for whatever reason. Could even be lifestyle-change related, who knows.
(It wasn't until I fulfilled my inevitable destiny of becoming a pothead that I truly appreciated beer/coffee/tea obsessives.)

I seriously have the best weed guy this side of a dispensary, and the difference between him and past dealers is mindblowing. He's uber-punctual, he's constantly rotating stock, and I've never gotten a strain from him that didn't check out, both in terms of characteristics and potency. It's a world of difference from my brickweed-slinging blood-puking guy from college or the dude who kept "joking" about me having sex with him as a reward for him delivering pot (which I did appreciate, but not that much), neither of whom had a clue what they had beyond "this stuff seems really good this time!" and didn't even know enough to try to bullshit me.
Hooray for reclusive New Hampshire weed farmers and their connections to Big City Folk, I suppose. [Reply]
I'd love to see the northern lights, but I'm in the middle of a big city and pretty far south, so I think my odds are zero at home. Last year I was in northern Minnesota on business and the lights were supposed to be visible one night. I was all excited, but apparently the alien mothership blocked them or something because they didn't show up.
About 15 years ago I was on a ship in southern Alaska. I got a good night's sleep, and a couple of weeks later I heard that there had been spectacular northern lights where I was, but I didn't even know to look for them.
Someday I'm going to have to make my way to Greenland or Norway on a specific northern lights expedition. [Reply]
When we did our Alaska cruise, the northern lights were forecast to be visible, and of course up there you get the full treatment. We tried to stay awake, but finally gave up and went to bed around 1:00. They showed around 3:00. I should have called housekeeping for a wake up call when they were visible, but it didn't occur to me at the time. Still kicking myself in the ass for that one. :-) [Reply]

Just to chime in, it was Matanuska thunderfuck, named after the Matanuska valley where it grew. It’s been gone for decades though and anything pretending to be it is just a name and not of the original strain. [Reply]

They really need to move them to daytime. Having them come on in the middle of the night is really poor in terms of customer service. [Reply]
