Meteor showers are great here at the beach, wide open sky, and dark. Tonight's forecast.....cloudy and rain. Figures.

Wake up pre-dawn and give it a glance, that's when it's best-viewed.

Where I am there is so much light polution I wouldn't be able to see our own sun go super nova - so I've got no shot at seeing the meteor shower unless I drive a couple hours at oh-dark thirty
All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Boo-urns. It's overcast right now and I can't see anything.
