Just to remind everyone…..if you are interested in the stars, tonight is the night for the meteor showers. They say the best time if you live in the mid west is after midnight. They go on to say any time between midnight and dawn you should be able to see the meteor shower and they predict 80 to a hundred falling stars in an hour at some points.
I wake up so much during the night that son has promised to go out with me and see if I can get a picture.
