when i was growing up in a very rural part of Texas, papi would host a Perseids viewing barbecue and all his musician buddies would come spend the weekend. we would barbecue a goat that had been raised just for the occasion, there would be a keg or two of Lone Star, and people (like, lots of people) would be out in the yard all night looking at the sky. we kids would lie on the roof of the barn and watch. it was always a big show, both in the sky and on the ground, and music being played for three days.
i don’t miss a thing about texass, but i do recall fondly this event.

We just will not be happy until our entire planet, including LEO is covered in dumb junk…
