tommy, head for the airport. I'll meet you in Colorado. (I wish.)
The nearest dark sky site to me is in Pennsylvania, probably an hour and a half away.
eta oh, wait, no. More like three hours. Well, that's right out.
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Lane Bryant's new Right Fit jeans.
I got a pair last week. I have the exact opposite problem as you, my waist and hips are almost the same size, so jeans either fit my butt and won't button or fit my waist with enough room for a small child in the butt.
My only gripe on them is that the petites are NOT petite. They say the inseam is 29.5" on the petites, but my inseam is 28.75" and I still had to get about 4 inches cut off and hemmed.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Seriously! I adore online bill-paying. It's almost like I'm a responsible adult. My Sims need online bill-paying, because I'm such a schmutz that my Sims family, retirees with 150,000 simoleons in the bank still forget to pay the bills and get visited by the repo man with his laser repo ray. Ah, how art imitates life.
Come see us here! Perseids are totally going to rock it, what with the new moon and all. Is it tonight? Somehow I thought it was tomorrow night. We were going to go out to the land and put lawnchairs in our yard and watch them. But we're getting ready to take the dog to the park right now, and there's a bluegrass festival on, so probably we won't make it out anywhere tonight.

I am finally home. Counting the 30+ minutes in Panera, I spent 9 hours on a trip that should have verged on 6. :: fwumps over ::

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cool!
In some online dating site there was a question, "If I could be anywhere right now, I'd be"
I put something along the lines of "Driving through the desert at night in an old American convertible during a meteor shower."
Huh. Still haven't done that. Maybe some day....

I was right on the cusp between Red and Blue. (Of course.) Damn half-inch! Go away! I'll have to go into the store and try some on.

Driving through the desert at night in an old American convertible during a meteor shower.
I have always wanted to do this. Or maybe a pickup truck, so I could park and lie in the bed where the rattlesnakes can't get to me.

Maybe next year I'll have my old convertible ready for such a trip. It just needs some minor work. Possibly the timing chain and gears needs to be replaced. And maybe the engine needs some bottom-end work.... The AM radio doesn't work - maybe it needs a vacuum tube or two....
