Things to Do Tonight...

[lwien]

If you like to look up, go outside and.............look up. Meteor shower !!

"One of the most flamboyant meteor showers will rain shooting stars Sunday night, lighting up the night sky for up to 2 seconds at a time.

And lucky for everyone, the Geminid meteor shower will be visible in both the northern and southern hemispheres, NASA said. Many of the bright arcs can be seen for 1-2 seconds each."

(Fuck, it's supposed to rain here tonight.)

 

[ginolicious]

Hmm. I may miss this. Unless I drive somewhere to get away from city lights.

If it would only quit raining long enough to see it.. We have had rain for the last 61/70 days here. Still beats droughts and fires though...

You still may be able to see this one. Could be worth a look.

 

[ginolicious]

What time is this suppose to be occurring at?

What time is this suppose to be occurring at?

"The shower lasts a couple of weeks, with meteors typically seen Dec. 4-17, peaking near Dec 13-14."
---NASA

So I don't think that there is a specific time.

Right now, if I look up, I'll drown.

The one thing I've always loved about Winter is the stargazing.

You sound like a turkey.

or a peacock.

They are just as stupid. Also, chickens bred for meat production. They drown themselves freely. I lost almost half a flock in the first friggin' week!

I had a small bit of farm, back when I lived in the North, where it is always Winter, and Winter is Coming....

Now I just have a neat indoor grow tent, some Thyme, Lavender, Italian Parsley, and some other herbs under a bright light...

I do kinda miss the stars. It's not that easy to get a clear night in Winter here.

Weird how some birds are so stupid but others are so smart.............not unlike people I guess, eh?

PROHIBITION
PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET
Part 1. Ken Burns’ illuminating 2011 study of the relationship between society and alcohol is a sobering one – at least in the respect that our policies and attitudes on this subject have been both wildly inconsistent and depressingly familiar. Comparing the temperance movement and the repeal of Prohibition to today’s drug wars and sporadic legalization of marijuana is an even more obvious leap today than when this documentary premiered a few years ago. It’s repeated in weekly installments, and returns next Tuesday.
