No, it had nothing about spending (shudder) so much time in a church today. No, that is no joke. By design, I actually, factually went to some catholic building, but only because a truly wonderful relative expired way too soon, and the service took place there.
The real reason for my need goes back to someone named Perseid, who also needed a shower, apparently.
Well, as Neil young once crooned, Tonight's the Nacht.
More below the orange meteor track on acid.
Camelopardalids.
Say that three times, quickly. Now have a scotch and repeat.
And again. Better? Yeah, me, too. Just in case, try it again.
Hey, what moron decided to name this odd out of whack piece of ice, dust, and rock 209P/LINEAR? Names like that are what Sarah Palin names her H̶e̶r̶ ̶d̶a̶u̶g̶h̶t̶e̶r̶'̶s̶ ̶i̶l̶l̶e̶g̶i̶t̶i̶m̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶ children after running low on graft topics.
Anyway, there is this light show in the sky tonight. This big effing piece of ice and dust keeps intercepting our path, leaving all sorts of crap in our orbit. That is, if you believe in such sciencey based propaganda from sciencey dudes and dudettes. As if they know, tho. I bet not one of them understands why our universe is 6000 years old. Pshaw.
So, the theory goes, our good flat earth is about to hit the flotsam and jetsam of 209P/LINEAR. And for us here in Ye good Olde U S and A, from mid nacht or so, til the wee hours of tomorrow's mourning, they will be hitting north America's atmosphere and self destructing. Silently.
Here are Pastor Ag's rules for watching lights in the sky.
Find a great partner who can stand your humor.
Kiss her. Again.
Pour scotch, add a couple of cubes.
Turn off all lights and get eyes ready for a nacht sky,
Find a dark part of the sky outside. Avoid city lights.
Take a comfy chair, blanket, or bench. Don't forget to bring honey's fave wine. And an opener.
Sit or lay down. Kiss honey. Toast the sky. Watch.
In ill in noise, our show starts at 12:30 and ends by 2am. Honey and I are already set with stuff, clothes, chairs, (it will be 54) and drinks. And puppy.
