Perseid meteor shower

I went out on the back patio for a short while and looked. I didn't see a single meteor, unfortunately. They're pretty unmistakable in the sky but perhaps there was still too much city glow for me.

My brother reports that he went to a much darker area for around five hours. Through the whole time, he spotted only eight meteors which is kind of disappointing. But a friend on Facebook, who came up to this county for viewing, counted thirty.

I just think western New York was not the ideal viewing region.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Do you live right down by the river or something? The sky was clear as a bell one county up.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
