Ursa Major Don't Care and other tales of the sky
I haven’t spent as much time looking at the stars this summer as I ought to have. However, I have been able to catch several shooting stars and have learned to more easily identify a few stars in the sky, so I’ve had a little fun and I am making progress. Yesterday, Tom and I were outside…
