I hope you can enjoy a good meteor shower. Try to lay comfortable because standing and looking up your neck will start to hurt in a while!!! I always enjoy the meteor showers.

Dog gone, I wish this was happening last week while on vacation in Sanibel. The stars were amazing there. Can't see much here in the city but as always I will be looking up anyways. Thanks for the info HURAKAN.

we are going camping tomorrow through Tuesday down in the Niagara Peninsula, (on the banks of the Welland River) so hopefully we will get to see this.
