My grandmother and I watched that large one years ago months before she passed away and she said it was the most beautiful spectacular thing she'd seen in her 80 + years.  Was glad I took her out to enjoy it.

Catch it if you can !!!!  you wont regret it !!!

I counted 40 last night in about 2.5 hours and tonight/this morning is the peak. The Orionid is nothing like a good leonid but any shower is worth watching. you never know when a shower will turn into a storm.

Hmmmm? I may have to get up early for work tomorrow.

Ya had got me curious.
I was just getting ready to go to bed. Setting here fresh out of the shower in my Sponge Bob boxers, reading this.

I wondered if maybe there was too much cloud cover to see anything, so I wondered out into the night and had a look around.

I got a huge 70-80 foot Pine tree in my front yard, not 10 feet from the front step, so I had to stray out into the road thats in front of the house to get a clear view of the sky.

Ahhhhp,    tree still in the way. I looked down and around to see where I could pitter patter off to, to get a decent view of the sky.
Then it dawned on my, we live on the side of a hill, and there's a cemetery at the top of the hill, which is about three blocks up. I thought, heck I could get a good view up there, no trees, and wide open, so away I went.

Got up there, and looked around and noticed they must be getting ready to plant someone as there was a fresh pile of dirt in the middle of one of the rows.
Well how perfect was that? 
I casually walked up to the top of it being it was only about 4 foot tall, looked around to make sure I wasnt gonna fall into the grave if I slipped, and I had me a good view.

I looked around in the sky for 5 or 10 minutes and didnt see a thing.

I was about to give up and call er a night as I could feel my socks pulling moisture from the dirt pile I was standing on and my feet were getting cold, when the next thing I know I hear three car doors go shut and then all of a sudden pooooof, two HUGE spotlights lit up the entire Northern half of the hemisphere and were pointing right at me.

Someone called the cops and reported a guy walking around in the cemetery, in stocking feet and Spong Bob underpants. And there I stood, all lit up like a Christmas tree in my stocking feet and Sponge Bob underpants.

Let me guess ... they let you off because they were Sponge Bob fans too & actually were dropping their draws to show you their Sponge Bob boxers.
