I wonder...

As I was driving home this evening, I saw a shooting star right in front of me. I saw about 15 more in the following 10 minutes. Somehow, I feel like this means something, if only I could figure out what.

Thank you both for the memories. :)

I can't quite recall the first time I saw a shooting star, but I know it was at my grandfather's house, which is up in the middle of nowhere in New Hampshire...my big sky memory is the first time that I saw the Milky Way. I was 13, and at summer camp in Maine. We had this cabin on an island in Muscungus Bay, and it was unbelievably dark and the sky was amazingly clear. The first night I was there, I looked up, and there was the this ribbon running across the sky. I'd read that people could see the Milky Way, but I don't think I ever actually believed it, and certainly didn't understand what that meant, until that moment. It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. I think it may still be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It's strange to look back and think how a moment can change your life.

And good luck on the super nova. ;) That'd be an awesome thing to see...
