    Meteor shower tonight!
    I just heard it on the radio then looked it up online - the year's best meter shower, this year the Geminids, is peaking tonight! Peak is expected to be around midnight, with as many as one meteor a minute! That's a pretty nice rate and under clear skies will probably best all of the other showers this year.

    Get out, bundle up, and look up!

    Yep! And I had cloudy skies last night!!!

    It isn't fair!!!

    Weather has killed most of these events for me this year!

    Maybe it'll be clear tonight. Tonight is supposed to be good too!

    Hey Rick :)


    Didja ever look at a photo and see something that isn't really there? I keep coming back to your photo cause I see a figure of a man with a moustache and beard driving, in the outline of the opening of the arch. Crazy huh?

    Here's the part I mean.

    Don't you mean, "I love the photo especially because there's a rock drivin' guy in it?" ;)
