Meteors in August
My birthday is in August, graced yearly by the Perseid Meteor Shower. The meteors peak every year on or within one day of my birthday. My husband organizes a small party or restaurant dinner for my birthday. In the 1990s and early 2000s, we made it a tradition to drive to Sunrise Point in the northeast corner of Mount Rainier National Park to view meteors. We headed to Mount Rainer after eating birthday cake. If the Perseids peaked during the work week, I would take annual leave on my birthday and the next day to rest after staying up all night on the Mountain.

Bridges that withstood spring melts for generations now collapsed under tonnages of water never witnessed before, isolating rural hamlets under feet of angry brown torrents.
