Bernd,

Last year Mary and I both saw one at the radiant. I thought there was some
slight lateral movement. She said there was none. Only later did I
vacillate between being scared that I (or she!) was a target and
disappointed that these things have to burn up.

Still a bright, warm afternoon here in SoCal. Another five or six hours
before we take a drive up to the hills a little bit away from the lights.

- John

Exactly the same idea crossed my mind, only difference I was pondering
how long it would take me to drive to Holland ... have never been there
and my Pauline would like to see the tulips in spring there!

Well, as for watching the Perseids, do not look directly toward the shower
radiant but rather about 60? away from it. The closer you are to the radiant
the shorter the trails are!

Cygnus (the Swan) and Aquila (the Eagle) is always a promising place to
look!

Back into the garden for more Perseids (weather permitting - it's cloudy
again!)

Bernd
