This is the first time since his inauguration. Trump is at his private golf club in Bedminster, NJ, on a 17-day "Working Vacation" while the White House West Wing is being renovated.

Meteor shower competes with the Moon during this August sky light and special effects show. This weekend is the right time to drag a chair, or blanket out and do a little stargazing.

The Perseid meteor shower, which begins Friday night and stretches into Saturday night, will have a higher-than-usual rate of about 150 meteors per hour. Unfortunately, some of the duller meteors will be canceled out by the brightness of the moon, which will be about three-quarters full. The shower happens annually when the Earth passes through remnants from the Comet Swift-Tuttle.

You know you're getting old when your grandson goes to his first day of Kindergarten. This preschool educational approach is traditionally based on playing, singing, practical activities such as drawing, and social interaction as part of the transition from home to school.

President Trump's response to North Korea’s threats with incendiary rhetoric to a nuclear-armed lunatic creates a risk now that a political shoving match could lead to World War III.
