It's a pity I live in the land of light pollution...

...because if I didn't, I'd probably have seen the Perseids when I went for a walk an hour ago.

(I really didn't expect to be awake now.)

Oh darn!

I completely forgot about the Perseids. Sometimes if I remember in time I'll try to drive out and catch a glimpse in a darker area.

That is the single thing I miss the most about being out at sea--the constant company of the stars. I've even seen the Southern Cross and Polaris in the same sky. Shaula was my favorite, though, because she was caught in our mainm'st for most of the southern trip and was at our backs as we headed north again.

(Hope you got to sleep eventually.)

I understand that there might be some tonight, but fewer than last night, if you have a chance to look.

I did, thanks!

(Also, I talked to faithstattoo about the lot of us getting together sometime and she was totally up for it.)
