I sat at work yesterday and read an article about the meteor shower that the Earth is passing through right now. It happens every August, and the paper said “between 11pm tonight and 2am tomorrow you could see 100 meteors an hour!”
I got home, made a flask of coffee, wrapped myself warm and sat outside as excited as a toddler at Christmas. I sat there for an hour and I saw nothing. Today I checked again and the paper I’d been reading had been 4 days old.
Sometimes I wish I was someone else so I could punch me in the face for my stupidity.
