By one in the morning, the sky was shirring over with city-reflecting cloud, but at midnight it was still clear and moonless and we watched the small bright flashes of the Quadrantids whose radiant is in the northern rim of Boötes, like static around the head of Draco, although [personal profile] spatch saw a fireball at the zenith and right before I turned back to the car to join him, a great line of light dropped earthward from the handle of the Plough.

WHRB has become our night-driving go-to because after ten o'clock it switches from classical music to whatever deranged genius occurs to the DJs until dawn and its highlights tonight included Heavens to Betsy's "Axemen" (1994), LiLiPUT's "I Had a Dream" (1981), Kraftwerk's "Spacelab" (1978), the Casual Dots' "I'll Dry My Tears" (2004), and James Chance's "Contort Yourself" (1979).

For the last night of Hanukkah, which was New Year's Day, we lit the eighth candle for the future.
