Did you look toward the Orion Constellation, Doc?

2017 Orionid Meteor Shower Peaks This Weekend: What to Expect
Are you kidding? I don't know my Orion from an Oreo. ;-D
I know many names of constellations but I don't know where they are. Earlier this year I was outside and happened to look up at the night sky and saw a blazing green comet glisten across the deep. It shimmered and glistened like an oil slick and was swallowed by the dark. I'll never forget it.
Thanks for the link. From the article I was able to pinpoint when I saw the comet, it was December.

Has anyone seen any of the Orionid meteor shower tonight? I turned out the back porch light (the neighbors' lights are out, too) and looked up at the dark purple sky gauzy with a few lone, cold stars. I didn't see any meteors but I did hear the familiar eight notes of a barred owl across the road. My mind drifted in thought and arrived at an old quote from Shakespeare that I like:

"Or, if there were a sympathy in choice,
War, death, or sickness did lay siege to it,
Making it momentary as a sound,
Swift as a shadow, short as any dream;
Brief as the lightning in the collied night,
That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth,
And ere a man hath power to say 'Behold!'
The jaws of darkness do devour it up:
So quick bright things come to confusion."
Saw quite a few last night around 2am-ish. Got the crap scared of me by a deer that decided to make its move out of my yard right as I lit a smoke....lol

She give anyone detention?
She broke up one fight, stopped a kid from biting another kid, and sent three people to in-school suspension. She took her job very seriously. LOL!
...And called her mom no fewer than three times. She had a great day.

Today, we did Boo at the Zoo. The Baton Rouge zoo set up trick or treat stops around the park. Kids showed up in costume. It was loads of fun. Pics soon.
