[have you become obsessed about the rabbit in your garden, by any chance?]
I had heard on TV there would be a meteor shower, but we live in a metroplex and we can’t see more than 10 stars at night, so I thought the chance of seeing a meteor was ultra low.
That one was so bright, I don’t see how people missed it but nobody who was around saw it but me. Yes, that was kind of creepy too.

When I was a kid we used to gather around the TV on Saturday nights and watch wrestling. One time I fell asleep and dreamed the wooden owls on the wall came to life and attacked us. I woke up and there was a scorpion a few inches from my face.
It was small and probably harmless, but it freaked me out a little.
