Perseids meteor shower is peaking. The BEST night sky show, most years. Fortified by thermos o'tea, I've lounged in rooftop lawn chair, oooh'd and aaah'd into many a dawn.
Most years. Tonight, I'll need the moon lotion. Until the clouds roll over. Just about Go time, if Environment Canada's oracles have seen it right. Shootin' star viewing is further likely to be hampered by precipitation pattering upon the eye before dawn Sunday.
Ah well. There's always SpaceWeather Radio. An audio stream off the U.S.A.F. Space Surveillance Radar in Texas. Eerie radar pings and echoes off...whatever happens to whiz overhead.

Nat taking in the sights, too? i imagine that the sky is too bright where i am to see any such meteor showers, even if you can see it from the equator. meh, i had my fireworks the other night, i'll pretend that was a similar event.
