Perseids – August 11th and 12th
While we’re on the subject of things upcoming, the Perseids Meteor Shower is heading our way [our: meaning Earth] on August 11-12. Sure, it’s an annual occurrence. It is fascinating, just the same. I remember grabbing some camping chairs and a sleeping bag last year and heading for the beach. We sat there on the sand, tucked away in our blankets, leaning as far back as we could to stare up at the sky. All the while, we were trying to stay warm.
This year, the peak is going to be a Monday night/Tuesday morning. I want to drive out to the middle of nowhere to watch.
