About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Geminid Meteor Shower




How to Watch the Incredible Annual Geminid Meteor Shower Tonight


Here's when—and where—the shower will be most visible.

By Eleanor Hildebrandt and Jennifer Leman

Every December, the Earth's rotation puts it in the path of debris from the asteroid 3200 Phaethon. When that happens, the dust and grit burns up upon contact with the Earth's atmosphere, creating the most biggest and most vivid annual meteor shower: The Geminids.
The Geminid shower will be visible from the Northern Hemisphere late in the evening tonight, Friday, December 13, and before dawn tomorrow, Saturday, December 14. Sky & Telescope advises that those who have trouble getting up early venture out Friday evening after the moon has set, around 9:00 p.m. across the U.S.
However, the peak viewing opportunity will be around 7:30 a.m. Eastern on Saturday morning. Unfortunately, it won't be a completely moonless sky, but don't let that pesky waning gibbous stop you from taking a peek.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
