Hey yeah, I was thinking about telling ya'll about the meteor shower this weekend, but since the moon will wash out a lot of em when it rises, I didn't bother. I'm still gonna go down to the dark end of the island and gaze from the beach for awhile tonight and prolly tommorrow. This shower usually is one of the better performers. And yeah, I love that NASA archive link...came across that in someone's yahoo id I think a long time ago, and bookmarked ever since.

Oh, and a fairly recent bookmark was this page I'll use for various reasons, but it's to calculate the rise/set times of moon, sun, planets, and a bunch of other stuff I don't use. But sometimes it's good to know these things.
