Yup. Like I said, here I was walking down the halls in my scrubs with a Miller light in my hand. :)

He didn't prescribe the good stuff?

At least it was not a Coors light!

That is what the patient wanted. I guess you could request anything you want. But the patients family had to bring it in.

I had one ritzy woman patient who was allowed to have a bottle of Scotch in her room. Had it on a fancy little tray and everything. She had a glass every night before bed.

where the hell is sid?

Night all. Have to get up early and help set up at 8 am.

Huh, my exact question as well... MIA.

Wow, this laptop works a lot better when the battery has a charge. Helps to plug it in too.

Never done it myself for the same fear. It was always something to joke about when I was in the airforce.

Morning Y'all
Richard, are you home?

Morning!

Best shot of the night and it's not even that good. Good learning experience, though. Shutter was open for 25 seconds, probably a touch too long, but I may have missed the meteor if it had been shorter.

Very cool

I'm sure Jeff can walk right outside and take these pictures, year round. Maybe not the meteor shower part. :D

I would be able to if it weren't for the crotchety old battle ax across the street who is afraid of her own shadow and feels the need to have the world lit up like a helicopter landing zone

Hi guys. Nice pic, Dave. We were clouded up overnight here so watching the meteor shower was not in the cards. Also, like Rick, the light pollution at my place in DC is a bummer, too. Oh well.

Morning Jim, and the only problem I have with light here is from one person, but it is against the law for me to go spotlight hunting

Morning. Jim. We'll have to wait for the reports from around the country. The news hyped it as having up to 100 meteors an hour at peak - which I stayed for, best it was to be in years. There were some good streaks, but far and few between.

Nice shot Dave.

Yup, clear sky most nights. More likely to see a satellite with the naked eye than a meteor but I've seen quite a few (more electronically). You'd be surprised how many showers occur, many time it's during daylight hours, so we don't get to see them with the naked eye.

For some reason there are more meteor showers between the two tropical delineations than any where else in the atmosphere. I remember one of our physicists at work telling my why once but I can't remember what the reason was. The Tropic of Capricorn is only 25km north of us.

Maybe it'll get taken out by slingshot, err...angry birds. Owls are probably real pissed at your neighbor. ;)

Brrrrrr. It's bloody cold outside. I've got a street light shining into my back yard - too much ambient light. The milky way is directly overhead, not sure if I may be too far south to see the shower. When we go bush in a few days I may have a better opportunity to see. Beautiful clear night though.
