Get Ready for the Big Show Tonight

We'll be out in the back yard with a campfire and s'mores:

Every August, when many people go vacationing in the country where skies are dark, the best-known meteor shower makes its appearance -- the Perseids.

In 2005, the Perseids are expected to reach their maximum on August 12. Peak activity is unfortunately predicted for the daylight hours across North America.

Sky watchers are thus encouraged to watch during the predawn hours of Friday, August 12 and again during the early morning hours of Saturday

This makes me want to be at Lake Havasu. Remember how we used to sit in our lawn chairs and watch the heavenly spectacle every August. L & M, Dad
