Not Cloudy with a Chance of Meteors

It’s that time of the year again. No, not when you’re watching your electricity usage from 2 to 7 p.m. like a hawk that is blessed with an exceptionally good awareness of the current state of the thermostat (though that may be the case as well). The Perseid Meteor Shower is once again upon us. The Perseids typically peak on August 12-13, but are visible from July 13 through August 26th. One of the awesome things about meteor showers is that no special equipment is required – just your eyes and a dark, clear sky. And the best thing? Free, courtesy of Mother Nature. Don’t ever say she never did anything for you!
