If you were caught up in the spectacle of the Homecoming Carnival, you might have missed Jack Nicholson and his sunglasses outside of Low giving autographs and scaring children.

Bwog likes to report the occasional celestial phenomenon, so Stephanie Quan sends along this tip:
"Perseid Meteor Shower TONIGHT
Go outside tonight after midnight. If there isn't too much air pollution or cloud cover, there will be a spectacular meteor shower in the Northeast (strongest in the pre-dawn hours). If you're out in open, dark country, you might see up to 60 shooting stars an hour.
The Perseid meteoroids are debris from the Swift-Tuttle Comet, which takes 130 years to circle the sun. Swift-Tuttle is part of a comet kin from the Oort Cloud. Most comets from this cloud don't make it close to earth, but a few have been pulled into a trajectory closer to the earth, creating beautiful meteor showers several times a year."
It's currently rainy and miserable at this Bwogger's house. Anyone in luck with nice weather?
