Just wanted to say re Q’s pic of Long Beach that is labeled LBP.
If Q is referring to the the Port of Long Beach as LBP (Long Beach Port), it is not the way we refer to it. Locals and highway signs refer to it as the Port of Long Beach.
A pea shooter, or maybe a paperclip with a rubber-band?
Lyrid meteor shower 2019: When to see the best shooting stars in April.

The annual Lyrid meteor shower will be peaking soon.

April is not known as a big month for meteor showers, but that didn’t stop a giant fireball from shooting across the night sky earlier this week, dazzling witnesses up and down the East Coast and on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
Although that meteor was not believed to be related to the Lyrid meteor shower — it likely was a chunk of rock from an asteroid — the Lyrids are getting active this week and will soon be peaking.
The Lyrid meteor shower occurs every year in April, starting around April 16 and peaking about a week later. This year, the shower is expected to peak on or around Monday, April 22, so if you want to catch a glimpse of some shooting stars, you should do some sky watching late Sunday night, early Monday morning or after midnight Monday.
