Next year the moon will be about full, so the conditions won't be great, but there! LS Yeah, I didn’t have any luck,either.

One year I was working on a night shift and the gal I was working with and I took turns going outside to look up at St.Laurence's tears. It was a great show that year and we both enjoyed it. I had never heard the meteor shower called tears before but it is a dramatic possibility, isn't it? That particular saint is the patron saint of one of my four sons--I will have to remember to tell him about it before August l0 next year.

It's not only a small world (now you've got that silly little ditty cycling through my brain!), it's weird! LS And then there is Einstein’s brain living under a desk for something like decades.
