Well, here in Manchester (UK) things looked like they were going to be great
at 6pm, there was little cloud for a change, and the blue sky made me think
that it was going to be a good night. But as it got darker the cloud became
more prevalent and soon enough a fairly dense layer had built up - easy to
judge round here from the street light pollution bouncing off the cloud
base. So, personally, I was disappointed again. Still it could never compare
with one time years back when me and a bunch of friends laid outside
watching the shooting stars, not knowing just how fortuitous we were to have
picked that night of all nights to camp on top of a hill away from the
streetlights.

Sounds like the good folks in GB might have gotten the best show of all of
us this year; any reports from our observers on the Continent?

I usually take a fast look at the skies many nights, but it had
completely slipped my mind that the Perseid shower was the night of the
12th, so I didn't look, and nothing really caught my attention out the
windows. There was also some confustion from friends who claimed the
fall was actually on the 11th, not the 12th. Anyway, I "saw nothing,
NOTHING!!" (for those of you who remember Sgt. Schultz on the Hogan's
Heroes TV show.)
