Vicki and I spent half an hour tonight, huddled together under a blanket on our back patio. She'd heard about a good display of shooting stars that was expected in the northeastern sky tonight around 11:00 p.m., but all we saw were one, or maybe two, such things, despite all our skyward scanning... if shooting stars they even were!
Of a more fruitful nature, I got the e-mail this evening indicating that my new laptop had shipped, so I'm hopeful that I'll get it sometime soon (maybe even in the next couple of days).
I had read that to see them, you needed to check the sky shortly before dawn (as the Moon would have "set" leaving the sky even darker).
ReplyDeleteI happened to wake up around 4:00am this morning, and looked out my patio door for about 10 seconds, saw nothing, and flipped NASA the bird and went back to bed.
