Persied meteors

Zoe came over around 1:30 this morning and we watched for about an hour. I didn't keep real close count, but we saw around 40 meteors. Not as spectacular as last November's Leonids, where I saw 121 in a 27 minute period (with a couple of fireballs.) But definitely worth watching. We're easy to please on the Island.

It was a perfect night. Cool and clear. We are far enough away from the mainland lights that we can clearly see the Milky Way. There sure are a lot of stars out there!

Work, family matters, and shooting stars have kept my blog entries down. I have some very tasteful links lined up...when I wake up. Nighty, night.
