    Anyone planning on staying up till crack of dawn for this? http://english.cri.cn/6909/2009/11/16/2001s529680.htm

    I am going to try to see some of it from my rooftop. I worked overnight last night and did not sleep much today so I am not sure how long I can stay up . But will give it a shot anyway. I am trying to find my camera as we speak.

    Good luck to anyone watching, hope you have a good show. Lilly

    Lilly - It will be 12 F at my place tonight. Nothing will get me out of my warm bed, nothing.

    Besides, don't forget about the movie-documentary 'The Day of the Triffids' It could happen again!! As a precaution, PLEASE!! WEAR YOUR SUNGLASSES for viewing!!!!

    Day of the Triffids!!!!! Two thoughts:

    1) never use that movie title because it dates you chronologically and/or mentally

    2) it was a scary docu-drama (lol)

    I'm gonna go get my watering can ready...just in case...(still lol)

    I recall reading an account of the 1833 meteor shower by an ex-slave.

    It can be found by googling Slaves' Narratives.

    I was disapointed too. I stayed up until 2 am and did not see anything. My hubby got up at 4 am to go to work and he saw nothing at that time either. I really think you have to be totally away from people, like in an open field somewhere. Come to think of it, this is the best way to see UFOs too.

    Maybe next meteor shower, I will head to Roswell. Lilly

    I laughed out loud at her recollection that the masters, out of fear that Judgment Day had arrived, began to tell the slaves where and to whom their kin had been sold.

    As if this one single act could redeem them!

    History is something else, isn't it?
