shooting across the atlanta skyline

i went out last night into atlanta to meet a friend for dinner and a movie; it was good to get out of decatur for a few. despite what has always been my experience with meteor showers (i don't actually see them), i am constantly on the look out for their immediate presence in my nightlife. while driving down ponce i saw what looked like a meteor inch down into the darkness. i'm sure it was a firework or gunshot or something, but it was terribly beautiful. 

i need to ask dr. lovell what she wants from these blogs, more specifically. so far i've just been going on.
