Was able to get up early (4am) today and check out the Perseid meteor shower. ...Of course I missed the peak period that was earlier in the evening, but I did see several meteors in a relatively short amount of time. I wonder if after the peak period, someone might coin the phrase, "meteor drip"? You heard it here first, folks!

Also found out one of the new guys at work is an avid amateur astronomer. He shares there's a place near here called Blue Canyon, where the night time skies are perfect for star parties. /BB
