Meteor Shower: Get outside!

By

I stopped on the way home for some Bailey’s for my coffee and some Godiva Chocolate Liqueur to mix with my Rumple Mintz in preparation for this weekend’s meteor shower.

August 12th……….All Night……….Meterors!!!


Perseid Fireballs

According to SpaceWeather.com there are already 10+ meteors per hour but the peak is August 12th and 13th.

I’ll be in the back of my truck which will be parked in the middle of my dark pasture.

    I can’t see the night sky anymore thanks to Coffman Tank Trucks. I moved out here for the lack of light pollution, and they move it right next door.

    Yeah, the light pollution from drilling companies and drilling rigs is intolerable. We need to raise all kinds of hell with them.

    Here in Central Floor-ree-duh, at least I can say I (somehow!) live where it’s not over-developed (yet!) like the rest of this damn state! There were quite a few ‘shooting stars’ last night, and I was thinking WTF?! Then I remember this meteor shower thang.
    Hey 25%ers, y’all wanna tell us how the world is flat and just 6,000 years old?!

    Woooo hooooo, and don’t forget about Mars. “The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in the night sky. Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye.

    Damn oil companies. Damn dry hole toxic injection waste sites. Damn them all. All the bucks spent in Iraq already COULD HAVE FIXED THIS PROBLEM.

    Thank goodness my pastures are still really dark, but only if I’m looking north, and regardless, snakey.
