Step away from the remote... Democrats are galactic flatulence... Pour an adult beverage and enjoy nature's fireworks.

I wanted to see the Perseid shower, but we’re having very dramatic thunderstorms around here. The cloud to ground lightning around 6 p.m. was awesome! Then it was raining buckets. I went out to the store during the lull, as we’re supposed to have more of the same in an hour or so.

I don’t know about getting the joke, but I plan on watching it with some cheese and eye out for a Moose.

Question, on the twitter link there is a map of the US with excellent and poor viewing areas. Is that due to atmospheric weather conditions?
