That astronaut would be Col. Chris A. Hadfield, this Canadian’s favorite fellow Canadian.

I wonder if shooting crap stars burn a different color than actual meteorites.

When you wish upon a star Makes no difference who you are Anything your heart desires Will come to you

Since he's talking about a shooting star, this might be a more appropriate song.

Honestly just a few minutes ago I was thinking “Bryan hasn’t posted much lately. Sure he covered the two daughters “honor” murder by their dad but he’s been quiet other than that.”

Thanks for not being quiet. It was a good laugh.

Thank you – That was absolutely precious! And who was he? THAT IS THE KIND OF CANDIDATE I WANT FOR POTUS!!!

A man who can speak that honestly and clearly about the “3rd rail” of the human condition, is just what we need to flush the crap out of Washington DC …may God allow the politicians to disappear in a flash across the night sky.

Yikes! Watch out tomorrow morning.

The Quadrantid meteor shower is due to reach maximum in the predawn hours of Friday, Jan. 4. The Quadrantids are notoriously unpredictable, but if any year promises a fine display, this could be it. Indeed, this may end up being the best meteor shower of 2008. The Quadrantid (pronounced KWA-dran-tid) meteor shower provides one of the most intense annual meteor displays, with a brief, sharp maximum lasting but a few hours. The timing of peak activity favors Western Europe and eastern North America. Weather permitting, skywatchers in rural locations could see one or two shooting stars every minute during the peak.
