Thanks for the alert, I'm fogbound here in Panhandle of Texas and headed out the door now for drive over to Texas-New Mexico Border on I-40. Sat maps seem to show clearing there. I'll pop back in on the laptop and cell hookup if it gets good from here............I sure hope it does.

Stay Safe !

Thanks for the heads-up.

The lawn chair is standing-by, and the sleeping bag is being warmed up...... weather is CRYSTAL CLEAR in New England.

It's a rural area of MD, but a basically suburban development (completely crime-free) but full of retards with billion-candlepower security lights..so I rarely have ideal conditions or can see the Milky Way..but the brighter Leonids can be seen ANYWHERE where you can see ANY stars at all..people get the impression they should never bother looking at an astronomical event..be it meteors or aurora..unless they live 100 miles from the nearest town or something..this is not the case...bright auroras or fireball meteors can be seen almost anywhere.
