Tonight is the peak night for seeing meteors. The Perseid meteor shower comes every August, and every August I go out and look for them. There are supposed to be about 60 an hour, but light pollution is a problem (Blue Mountain Ski resort is a big guilty party), and they move very quickly and are easy to miss.
After half an hour sitting in the yard looking up, I saw two meteors for sure, one maybe out of the corner of my eye, and one bat. I also now have a stiff neck., You’re supposed to like on a blanket and look up, but I sat on a chair. Maybe I’ll try again about midnight.
