Tonight’s the peak of the meteor shower. If you can find a place away from city lights, and look to the east in particular, you’ll see a bunch. At peak there are supposedly 1-2 meteorites burning up in the atmosphere per minute. I’m probably going to go lay in the hammock. Even with the lights from Tonawanda/Buffalo I should be able to see a few.

Word… There was terrible overage and air pollution so I had very limiting viewing here in tonawanda… Got to see about 5 or 6 in a 45min period. I felt like a fucking retard standing alone, starring into space, on the porch on top of the roof of the garage… Especially with the stop sign right in front of the house… ---
