Don't forget to check out the night sky this weekend for the annual Perseid meteor shower. Should be a good show as there will be no distracting moonlight. The best time will be Sunday night / Monday morning ... but some can be seen Saturday night. Look toward the northeast.

Haven't had a cigar since Tuesday. I think I will take the laptop to the deck, put in scarface, smoke a cigar and watch for the meteor shower once the cigar is gone.

Was just outside for about 20 min. Saw 4 really bright ones.
I'll go back out again about midnight.

Saw one really bright one and 2 not so bright. To the Northeast of me are three street lights. I guess not the best for viewing.

I crooked my neck twice last night for about 5 minutes each time and saw nothing. I am east coast and did so during peak hours of midnight and then again at 4am. This must have been an off year. :sadpace:
