My family and I went camping over the weekend, but even though we were miles and miles away from civilization, we couldn’t see the Perseid meteor shower because of clouds.  This is bullshit.  If we, as a civilization, cannot come up with a reliable way to rid ourselves of clouds during important events (meteor showers, the Super Bowl, any time I want to run around drunk and naked in the woods) then we have failed.  We may as well go back to living in the trees, eating bananas all day and flinging feces.  This explains my wife yelling, “Come down from there, right now!” at me all weekend anyway.
