In fact, I immediately ran outside of my house... To see the starry sky... Holy... The starry sky is so beautiful!!! The night sky, full of stars isn't a scenery that you can see every night in a city. It's like the stars itself illuminates the night. Best night ever for me to see such a scenery Ive always wanted that to happen to me... I mean, my skies aren't totally useless, I can see mag ~4.8 at the zenith, cant see milky way or andromeda galaxy without binoculars though. I still would like darker skies though.

ZooNamedGames Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 2 hours ago, Just Jim said: Sonic Booms!!! I kid you not, Sonic Booms this afternoon! I was writing up the next Emiko chapter, and baking a pumpkin pie, when we heard and felt a couple loud rumbly booms. I wasn't sure what it was at first... we did have a really impressive T-storm last night, and I know they're working on rebuilding a retention pond a block over... but on a cold, rainy Saturday afternoon??? Then I got a pm from our buddy @ZooNamedGames, who lives not terribly far from me, asking if I heard the boom! He'll tell ya... they were louder by him! Well... it gets even more interesting, because now no-one seems to know what caused it. Here's the write-up that just showed up on our local news website: If you heard a loud boom this afternoon, you weren’t alone. Many people across the Bay area reported hearing the loud noise. Residents in Hillsborough, Pasco and Polk counties also reported feeling the ground shaking. Was it an explosion? A military operation? Spectrum Bay News 9 reached out to law enforcement agencies to find out the cause. Many agencies said they didn’t know. A Pasco County Sheriff’s Officer spokesperson said the agency received dozens of calls about the boom. Some callers reported seeing military-style jets around the time of the boom, but Pasco deputies were not able to confirm that. It seems, for now, the loud boom remains a mystery. So I'm guessing they were some sort of fighter jets out of MacDill.... but for now it appears to be somewhat of a mystery.... hmmm...... And you’re absolutely right. It sounded like a bomb dropped when it past over. Followed after by military helicopters. I have no idea what’s up. I spent those hours combing twitter for answers. Only known explanation is ‘B-1 Aircraft tests’. I know nothing more or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tater Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Spent the day yesterday up in Santa Fe. Nice lunch, and walking around with a buddy and the kids while our wives shopped. Even so, an awesomely nice day to wander around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my town the paths have been sprinkled with salt so there is less snow, but the road is still narrow, go outside of the dry path and hit the snow you are wobbling like crazy.

DarkOwl57 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 You know what I love about West Texas? Not the people. Not the hospitality. Not even the brisket. It's the fact it can be -2 outside and not a single flake of snow in sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
