Roger that. 11 PM, I'll be freezing my ass off in some field, wondering if anyone's gonna bring beer, and reveling in the glory of 6000 meteors an hour.

Still cloudy here so I doubt I'll see anything. I am kinda hoping that a meteor crashes through my bedroom window though...

Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either. :P

Yup, and that's exactly why I'm hoping for one to crash through my window. As long as it doesn't hit me I'll be happy. 8)

Of course having said this I'll have a 5 ton metor smash into my house...

UGH, It is 430am, and I am leaving the house to watch the meteors in the insane cold. I hope this is good... must stay awake, must stay awake :shock: must stay awake.... will let you know what it looks like on the east coast in the wee hours of the morning.
