This is pretty cool for those who like to look up.

Yeah, we had a newspaper clipping about this with us when we went down to the country last weekend, but we never seemed to remember where we supposed to be looking when we were outside at night.

But since I could see all kind of cool shooting stars just by looking in the same spot for a few minutes, I thought what the hell. Anyway, the tail is pointing away from us...

Yeah, I like looking up. Next time we go down to the country, I have to get a few folding lawn chairs, the long kind that go clack-clack and fold in three parts, that I can throw them in the back of the Mule (Kawasaki)...for remote up-looking, in comfort.
