It was enough
I walked out at a little before 3 and we had thick fog. I went out at 4:15 and the sky and clouds had thinned. I saw a meteor within 15 seconds. After giving that one a name, I waited another minute and saw a faint one in the thin clouds. It was 34 degrees outside. I retreated to a warm house, a cup of hot coffee and a blanket. I will say I watched a small -very small- portion of the 2012 Quadrantid. It was enough.

Reminds me of an old story about an idler watching a blacksmith shoeing a horse. The blacksmith would heat the shoe, and shape it on the anvil, and toss it aside to use later. The idler walked over to the shoe pile, and before the blacksmith could warn him, picked up a hot shoe and quickly dropped it.
ReplyDelete"A little hot?" asked the smith
"Nah. It don't take me long to look at a horseshoe ...."
yeah, it didn't take me long to look at the meteors this morning.
