Saturday night was amazing. I love watching that stuff. We also saw Mars bright and clear. It was even reflecting off the water like the moon does.

Just after dusk tonite look into the W/SW sky.

3 planets will be in a triangle, Mars, Venus, Jupiter I think it is. Venus is on the bottom, Mars on the left.

Back in my astronomy days I remember staying up all night one summer and counting them...at times over 60 an hour.

keggars & other extracurricular activities in the cornfield ain't bad.......

de-tassling corn is a big activity to prevent undesirable X-breeding forming new hybrids

I did that once.

Not one summer mind you, but once.
