Hi Tip, the Washington Post says that you can start watching after 1 p.m., so you could stay up late. In past years due to family I have just gone out around 11 a.m., midnight, in my front yard (no street lights, just house lights) and caught a few. It doesn't take many shooting stars to make you feel pretty lucky to be alive. I frequently wake up early, anyway, so I will try to get up so as to catch the peak, one or two hours before dawn, on 17th. You could also try 16th and 18th. Local astronomers set up observation post on 17th about an hour west of here at Sky Meadows Park, foothills of Blue Ridge, so there will be plenty of people around. Pick your site in advance.;^)
