    For all you people like me who have their head in the clouds and are stargazers...

    Perseid Meteor Shower peaking on Aug 12th.

    For more info go to http://www.chiff.com/science/perseids.htm />
    Visit what inspired John Denver when he wrote "Rocky Mountain High"

    ...But the Colorado rocky mountain high
    I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
    The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
    Rocky mountain high...

    Sorry for you CF folks down under, not much to see there.

    I have some wonderful memories with my friend Sandy who passed 2 years this September. We would lay out all night on her farm gazing at the show mother nature was producing for us. We had some incredible laughs being silly and gazing at the sky, getting soaking wet with dew!

    It was just after 10:30 when I got home from work.  Grabbed a lawn chair and enjoyed the show.  There was this big patch from the horizon that went way up in the sky....  lots of activity.  Last night was really clear.
