”Enjoy the light show FAC - let us know what you saw... “ Hi Rob, All, What I saw was extremely humbling. Nature sure takes care of business a lot faster than the federal government and THE ILECs. And probably faster than the proposed Tauzin-Dingell Internet Bill will, too. The showers were humbling, in the most magnificent and salubrious way. Natural events like this tend to put us smart arses in our places. No kidding. [In contrast, two months ago from the same vantage point I witnessed another spectacle that was also humbling, but in another, far-less-speakable, way. ] While observing the showers I phoned my clan on Long Island while they were viewing the same events from an elevated patio high on a hill surrounded on one side by a golf course and a bay, and on the other side by the ocean, a hundred and ten miles from the Apple. I had an idea to do a simulcast meteor showers event. I wonder if you can do that over IP? Showerbone? Nah, I've been reading too many trade magazines lately. Unlike myself, my vacationing brood had no artificial lights to contend with from lampposts and bridges, and the gigawatts strewn from the NY City skyline. Net net: My crew was able to see the multi-colored pastel trails on most of the meteors that zipped by. I saw those lingering colors on only a few. One of them lasted for a considerable time. But only that one, to speak of. Most of them went phypt. I must have seen a couple hundred meteors this morning. Awsome stuff. That’s more shooting stars than I’d seen during my entire earlier life! Big ones, too! <emoticon> FAC
