I was only out for a brief stint around midnight local time (Dallas, TX), and only saw
one meteor that I could reliably trace back to Perseus. But, I saw at least three
that could be traced back to emanating from Cepheus...definitely not Perseids, and a
little too much coincidence to all have

Hi List,
Stayed up till 3:30am (my co-workers always know why I use a vacation day

Chicago weather is fickle. The evening sky of the 10th and 11th was
