The annual Perseid meteor shower begins its most illustrious sequence in the wee hours of Sunday August 11th (that would actually be after midnight Saturday, right?) Don’t worry if you don’t read this until Sunday morning. You haven’t missed the best show of this shower, which will get even better between 2:00AM and just before dawn on Monday and Tuesday when the darkest part of the northeastern sky will be streaked with an average of 50 meteors an hour.

And sure enough, it was certainly an interesting delve into history, conflict and clever interpretation dating, in some cases, back to the 16th century…

Well, El Pescadito is only new to our pond. It’s actually a 14 year old franchise operation with 28 restaurants nationwide and a very successful franchise concept involving proprietary recipes, secret sauces and dressings, cleanliness, training and service.
Schools in Mexico start up in August, and thus do the needs for school supplies by the nonprofit charity organization, Adopt-a-Classroom founded in 2003 by Rocky Point residents, Barb and Mark Olszewski. Throughout every year they have acted as the central distribution point, including delivery, to 11 schools in Rocky Point and one in Port Lobos a little over 2 hours drive south, helping provide educational supplies to nearly 10,000 kids…
