best show in town.....free.....what could be better?

So, I'm sitting on the deck at the tree farm, watching for meteors,
and I'm constantly distracted by flashes of light in the north.....not
quite due north but pretty close......about 350 or so degrees as far
as I can tell. *What the hell? *Headlights on the freeway? *I don't
think so.....clear skies. *Meteors? *Nah, doesn't make any sense to
see flashes emanating from far beyond the horizon and never see the
perpetrators themselves. *So?

So, check NOAA. *NOAA says thunderstorms up around Rice
Lake......roughly 119 miles away, just west of due north.

DAMN!

A****INMAZING!

Meanwhile, one clearly identifiable caddis* and many smaller
unidentifiable bugs cavort on the computer screen in an otherwise
unlighted room.

Whattaworld!!!

*size 18/20.....no further information.

Watched a storm a couple of months ago that was close to 190 miles
away.
And yes, I saw a couple of meteors last night. Very cool. Would have
liked to have been on the deck at the tree farm to watch. I could
have fished this morning after the rains let up.
