The Perseid Meteor Shower, nature’s regular summer spectacle, is past its peak (Aug. 11 – 12), but an eye on clear skies and a waning moon mean there’s still a good shot at shooting stars Tuesday and Wednesday, depending on locale as Earth hurtles through dusty trail of comet Switft-Tuttle. “Midnight to dawn any morning the week before or...

Weird Rhody’s August Release
The Fantastic Forum was conceived with ambitious goals, but never realized its potential as my focus on other projects sapped the site and my fiction writing of the energy that a whole hearted effort required, until recently.
