Did anybody else catch the show?
This was the first meteor shower I've ever seen, I had no idea what I was missing!

I saw a couple of shooting stars at midnight. Very very quick and very small. What gets me is the different colours as they burn.
Fascinating stuff. _________________ -=Scifer. Badgerfox.

I missed this year (too stinkin hot to go outside lol) but I've seen multiple years in the past. One year I.T. and I had 900+ acres around us so we went to a field in the woods where there was almost no light and laid on the hood of the car and watched it for a while. It's a neat show _________________ http://www.bukisa.com/people/AmberBarnes check it out!
