Four consecutive days of
Four consecutive days of bell-clear, balmy weather in Tennessee. In mid-August.
I don't know what we did to deserve it, but man, I'll take it. I'll take more.

Perseids too
Beautiful picture, especially with the moon above. Was driving home from work about that time and couldn't believe the clarity in the air. And this is supposed to be an AQ Alert day, which I would have thought would be of the visible ozone kind.
Also, wife heard the Perseids will be out tonight and best seen after the moon goes down which should be around 1:39 a.m.
Wish I had seen that last
Wish I had seen that last night. According to the link, they will be visible tonight (tomorrow AM) too. This (link...) says the moon will set around 3:30 AM tomorrow (Wednesday AM). Will try to remember to set my alarm.
EDIT: Or maybe not. Weather for tonight is cloudy, with thunderstorms tomorrow AM. If you snooze you lose.
Sorry
Later realized I should have posted on front page. It was late and I added that on impulse. I'm too lazy to get up in the middle of the night, so didn't.
