A Shooting What?

Late at night, I often sit on my back deck with my dog Fred enjoying the quiet of the evening.

After a long day in the newsroom, it's a nice way to decompress.

The other night, the sky was particularly clear and the stars were very bright. That's when I saw it, a shooting star. It erupted in flames, a big ball of fire, trailing across the sky.

It was only visible for a few seconds before flaming out. It was really impressive.

The next day, I told my wife about it, explaining that I'd made a wish on the shooting star and that we should expect good fortune soon.

She could only laugh. When I asked what was so funny, she showed me this.

Oh well, I guess I won't be winning the Powerball after all.
