    WRONG - my crappy old eyes cause poor seeing...

        Great, sounds like doob material.

            Look North. Should be OK in Chicago if you're looking North out over the water.

              Overcast, but the Moon (...) and the Summer Triangle (!) are getting through -- what are my chances?
              No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                The moon is your enemy.

                  The moon would be there, overcast or not. I'm wondering if the meteors should be bright enough to be visible through the thin cloud cover.

                    Probably not, unless there are some really spectacular fireballs. The moon sets around 1 am, though.

                      Okay, I was afraid of that. Oh well. Just went out, only Vega is visible now. Thunderstorms are due in a few hours...

                            Outside for about forty minutes. Saw seven meteors. Neck hurts. Going to bed. Very cool.

                              Good job! I wish the clouds could have held off for a bit, but cest le vie.

                                I know.

                                But the nerdyness of this thrade reminded me of him, and I am addicted to calling Elok a nerd.

                                It is part of my psyche and overall well-being to call Elok a nerd... even if he is not here.
