Science Forecast calls for shooting stars as Perseid meteor shower hits peak this weekend

I'll ignore your weak attempt at racism.

White Pines are primarily an Eastern tree.

Here in Beautiful Central Oregon we have mostly Ponderosa Pines and Lodgepole Pines.

I've only heard of Ponerosas and Lodge Poles. Never heard of White Pines.

Here in La Pine we have mostly bigots and racists.

Back from the beach. The park ranger said it was the first time in a month that the skies were clear. Got to see shooting stars both nights. Very very cool.

Also won the camp trivia contest at the amphitheater, won a really nice Coastal Artillery jacket. I guess that gives me the right to fire on any japanese submarines.

I've got a buddy with an old coast guard cannon. It was used to shoot tow lines and safety lines to boats. He occasionally fires it in his crawl space beneath his house. He's dug a pit where he fires his rifles and the cannon. He's active in his community and no one complains about it or the rockets he shoots in the athletic field of a nearby grade school.

I talked to my ambulance driver about the meteor shower but we both agreed that it was far too hazy to see the shower either from where I live or where he lives just North of Vancouver. If I were you I'd count my lucky stars. LUCKY STARS, oh never mind.
