Hi, Well, I have been waiting a long time to be able to sit outside with my oldest boy at 11 o clock at night and watch a meteor storm! Made me feel like a real parent! And Sam (who is 10) got a real buzz being able to stay up late! What a gas!!! not a great number of them, but those that we saw veritably cut the sky in half and left a trail for a second or two. Like breathtaking rockets, they were! Sam was demanding to see one, having waited outside for what must have been a very long 10 minutes to him, when, right on cue, as soon as Sam had extorted "Well, C'mon, let's see one!", a huge arc of yellow light cut the heavens in half - he was most impressed with his apparent ability to summon them up!! After an hour or so I thought it was about time the young chap want to bed - he agreed to go after seeing one last one. No sooner had I agreed this with him when another lit up the sky...."night, Sam, off to bed!" - he couldn;t argue!
What really surprised me was the very large number of satellites we both saw going across the sky - maybe 6 or so? They were not planes (previous experience has helped me to tell the difference between planes and a satellite overpass) What wondrous heavens!! In gentle decay, d. "I have a proof that x^n+y^n=z^n never has integer solutions for n>2. however, it won't fit into my signature file...."
