Hey Ben...Did you ever notice that none of this stuff happens during the daytime in the middle of rush hour traffic. What a coincidence.
Well thahh !! , what kind of light show would that be??, You will never see a july 4th fireworks show at noon.
I sort of started one indoors once and it was still too light out.
Now having said that, I did see a spectacular meteor one night driving home from work long after sunset.
Fortunately there wasn't enough traffic to result in any delays.
