Re: Thought Someone Might Be Interested?!
That would be the Preseid Meteor shower ...

August 10-13, 2013 before dawn, the Perseids
The Perseid meteor shower is perhaps the most beloved meteor shower of the year for the Northern Hemisphere. The shower builds gradually to a peak, often produces 50 to 100 meteors per hour in a dark sky at the peak, and, for us in the Northern Hemisphere, this shower comes when the weather is warm. The Perseids tend to strengthen in number as late night deepens into midnight, and typically produce the most meteors in the wee hours before dawn. They radiate from a point in the constellation Perseus the Hero, but, as with all meteor shower radiant points, you don’t need to know Perseus to watch the shower; instead, the meteors appear in all parts of the sky. They are typically fast and bright meteors. They frequently leave persistent trains. Every year, you can look for the Perseids around August 10-13. They combine with the Delta Aquarid shower (above) to produce the year’s most dazzling display of shooting stars. In 2013, the Perseid meteors will streak across the short summer nights – August 10-13 – from late night until dawn, with little to no interference from the waxing crescent moon. Plus the moon will be near the planet Saturn in the evening hours, giving a colorful prelude to late-night Perseid show. Best mornings to look: August 11, 12 and 13.

"AS you wish upon a star" ... and then it falls from the sky! What a deal.
And this year maybe I will get to see a small portion of the "show" as by then we may have a little darkness. Three days prior to my birthday the show ends. Imagine that - I get fireworks as a lead up. Hmmmmmm, guess I will be "star gazing" for a few nights. Have to stay up late which means this RV better happen before that or I may be glued to the computer screen, yet. BRAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA.

If it doesn't quit raining around these parts, the only thing we'll see is lightening!
