Meteoric

Just back from watching for the Perseid meteors to streak across the sky. Sadly we didn't get on top of this until the last minute and couldn't get out of town. We walked around Ashbury Heights looking for a dark patch of sky, and then went up to Twin Peaks, where a fairly sizeable band of people had gathered. Unfortunately a lot of idiots were also there, watching the show from their cars and turning their engines on and off to take advantage of the heat, I guess. It was annoying. I saw 5 meteors and then we headed back.

Bill is tired and going to sleep. I'm popping in and out of my backyard trying to catch a glimpse, but between the big redwood and the bright as hell lightbulb on the wall that I can't reach, I think I'm doomed. I'm really glad I saw a few!
