Toadfish Monastery

I saw one myself.  It was heading west, very fast and short lived, much like my ex-wife...

 

Looks like the northern Toadfish may be able to see the Aurora Borealis this week! Lucky ducks. It's too stormy here even to look.

I hope it clears up by the 12th and 13th for the Perseids meteor shower.

It's 3am CST.  I'm seeing something I don't recognize in the eastern sky.  It's fairly low on the horizon.  Looks like a group of stars fading in an out.  Looking right at it I don't see much.  Out of the corner of my eye they are fairly bright and fuzzy.  Looks something like the Seven Sisters.  Either it's really clear out or it's new.  Any body else see that?

As every year: when shooting stars are announced the weather turns cloudy, guaranteeing that none will be spotted.

Maybe it is the Seven Sisters and my Alzheimers is kicking in....

Maybe it's the seven sisters from another planet, in search of a chew-toy. Hide!

Too rainy here to see any Perseids (again!) but we hung out and made wine charms and had fun, anyway.

LOL!

I saw some meteors this morning!

Didja? Man, I wish the sky was clear enough here to go look.

We saw lots late on Thursday night.  The shower was supposed to be at its peak then and we had completely clear skies.

I just worry that aliens will use these showers to cover their invasion.

Was Quatermass 2 on TV recently?

See attachments for where I was during the meteor shower.... it were lovely.

How gorgeous! Didja swim there?

Yup, parked my bare behind in a pool for about three hours.

"Swim" is a strong word, as it's only a couple of feet deep at best, but still lovely.  We visited 5 hot springs in a week of holidays, which I'll post pictures of soon.

I guess I should have written "dipped"! I wondered if that was steam I was seeing in the last photo.

I almost assumed it was a mini crater left by a larger shooting star
