    Awesome meteorite shower tonight

    It's pretty good....saw 1 to 5 a minute with naked eye.

    Just came in.....for those of you with NVDs.....it's impressive...20+ per minute.

    Good night all.

    Saw some of it from the boat out in the Atlantic. It was impressive.
    Just because we are peaceful does not mean we have forgotten how to be violent.

    We were rained out Saturday night... Went out last night and saw a few stragglers. One was very low altitude. We could see the debris burning off it's tail very clearly.

    I saw a bunch Sat morning on my drive up from Wisconsin, but we've been clouded in here at home ever since. Supposed to be clear tonight, so I'll try to have a peek.
    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    Cat's are food... not friends!

    If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.

    It was cloudy here and we saw nothing. Maybe tonight will be better.
    I am me,
    I am free,
    You can not change me.

    If you try, you will see,
    That I am unchangeable,
    Because I am me.
