We had been living for just a few days in a rented house in Northern California when I went
outside for (I forget what) in the yard.
I just happened to look up at the predawn sky, and I saw a meteor streak from north to south
across the entire visible sky, which was a lot because the house was on a hill. It lasted for
about two seconds, and it was very bright.
Neatest astrological thing I ever saw with my bare eyes.
At least it wasn’t a meteorite.
Every time a good meteor shower happens, I either have heavy cloud cover, or I’m asleep.
