The atmosphere here in northern California is hazy with smoke from all the fires. I won’t be seeing anything in the sky tonight.

Folks, I'm on the central Gulf coast of Florida. I watched one of these meteor showers years ago as they streaked across the dark, clear skies we have here in my location. The sight was beyond my wildest expectations.

Here's a tip....ensconce yourself on a lawn lounge chair and employ a small pillow, maybe a light throw if it's cool....lie somewhat flat....and watch the show. Otherwise, your craning neck WILL start hurting after a while...seriously.

Last time, a number of my neighbors saw me outside watching the sky from my patio. One-by-one they brought their lounges and some bottles of wine over to my patio, and we enjoyed a celestial night of wine-ing, star-ing and stare-ing as we watched the Great Motion Picture in the Sky together !

Aww, you think YOU had it rough. I come from a poor AND abusive household. My father used to beat me on the head with a bat when I told him I wanted to see stars.

OMG...Dr. Paige (Commentator on the website) has the WORST case of Vocal Fry I have ever heard.

She makes Brittany Spears sound like an intellectual.
