Partial Vanity Warning. I wandered my wooded lot from about 10:30 till 11:30 looking in the east as told. Low colds but stars were visible over head. Came in and out for a while while watching NASA. Fially Mzz Mitzi Adams told me I was looking in the wrong place so I srepped out on the deck and looked due south and there was Orion bright and clear. It was 12:30 PDT here in Eureka Ca. as I slipped off my clothes , grabbed a glass of wine and jumped in the hot tub. It was 1:30 and at 1:35 I saw my first meteor. THAT WAS IT. for the next hour I sipped and watched. Nothing Nada Zilch! 2:30 I crawled out lookin like a albino prune and checked on Mzz Mitzi as she was ranting on about all the neat streaks and at that time I realized this was the moon landing all over again and she was laying in her sleeping bag on the back lot of Disney Studios. I did finally see about 25 in about 15 minutes before clouds shut it down.

I was dead tired this morning when I hit the sack at 2:30. It was clear until just before then and every time I went out to my backyard, no meteors. Perhaps I didn't stay out long enough at a stretch, or the local lights were just not helping? Either way, once the clouds rolled in, I was finished - dead tired too. I usually call it a night by 9 or 9:30 because I usually get up real early. That's all right. I plan on catching the next "Really Big Shew" in 2099! Oh, yeah - you betcha! ;-)
