Happy Coincidence

One good thing about living in the desert, stars. Almost every night I can go out and see thousands of stars, satellites, and a few meteors. Its a bright point in an otherwise hellish heat.

Last night, by chance, I was just hanging out, looking up. Not just one, but several streaked across the sky. They weren't the small flashes, caught out of the corner of your eye, these were globs of sparks, slowly falling out of the sky. This morning I read that last night was the Perseid meteor shower, one of the best of the year. Pretty cool.

To add to the "cool" factor, I spotted a tarantula crossing the road, a snake, and a scorpion running for cover under my fridge. Who says the desert isn't cool?
