Perseids

The last two mornings I have been trying to see if I can catch any of the Perseids meteor shower. Yesterday was foggy and even the moon was barely visible as I totter out. Today was beautifully clear. The moon was pretty bright though. I was thinking it might be too bright and/or I might be too late. I got out just at 5 am both mornings.
One of the keen things many people do not get to see are wonderful celestial bodies and dark sky events, that us early morning runners do.
So just about through the run and thinking..."no luck..." swoosh-- a big shooting star from the north. I head home mostly northerly and it was nice and bright and made the morning run.
I read the paper to see what the sky might have to offer sometimes so I know what to look for...aside from watching where I run.
Nice to see...make a wish...
