huge meteor misses east coast

wow: from my view, the meteor hit somewhere near the potomac in charles county at about 12:40pm on valentine's day this week, but it actually fell into the ocean...this time...yeah: i saw it while driving on route 301 on the harry nice bridge leaving virginia, heading into maryland...of course: no one believed me, but i saw what i saw...and what i saw was something (fairly) large...on fire...headed toward the ground at a high rate of speed...sooo glad i am not alone!

perseid meteor showers' grand finale is tonight!

i am revving up for the perseid meteor showers' grand finale tonight. The Perseids light up the night when Earth passes through a trail of debris left behind by the comet Swift-Tuttle, which swings past the sun roughly every 130 years. Tuesday night through Wednesday dawn offered viewers the best chance to see the most Perseids without as much glare from the waning gibbous—or just past full—moon. it still has some punch tonight: skies appear to be clearing here in heathsville, virginia and i am optimistic i will get a super show early this morning.

august

august is my favorite month because it is so summer-y and hot. i like it hot...and my birthday is in august. i was born on the cusp, so i am a leo/virgo. the mister is a leo, also born this month. the sturgis motorcycle rally is held the first week of august... the perseid meteor shower hits it's peak during the middle week...it is also national goat cheese month. august's birthstone is the peridot, so i made a couple of peridot pieces and loaded them to my herban elements etsy shop today.
