it rained all day yesterday (even when I was 3 hours away)...
I usually do get to see the Perseids every other year or so. They are pretty cool.
Don't fret, the Leonids will be around in Nov...
(no, it's not called the Leonids because of Leonardo Decapitated, it is because the meteors are massively concentrated around the leo constellation.

)
btw, Perseus is one of my favorite Greek Myth Heroes.
