One shower you don't need an umbrella for

Jeff and I went out last night to see a meteor shower. The greatest activity, Jeff was told by his uncle (who called to tell him about it), would be between midnight and 4am. So around 11:45pm, we headed out to the darkest place we could find so that we'd have a better chance of seeing any cosmic activity. We ended up in some turnoff on Covell Road and looked to the east to see if there was anything to see. We did see four or five meteors, but nothing resembling a "shower" to speak of. Jeff did see some things in the sky he'd never seen outside a textbook. We even tried to call Jon to ask the name of the comet he'd taken the boys to see several years ago, but of course, Jon didn't answer the phone, nor has he called back.

When we got home, Jeff went out into the back yard to see if he could see anything from there. I went to bed early for a change.
