Diane Gabe and I just cam in from watching some of the Persied meteor shower.. If you’re reading this on 8/12.. run outside and look towards the northeast. If your’e lucky you’ll see a bright streak everyminute or so as a grain of sand sized spec from the tail of comment Swift- Tuttle hits the Earth’s atmosphere at more than 70 km/sec.    I suspect it’s not so bad to go out in such a blaze of glory…
   Standing out there tonight with my family I was able to connect with the many summer nights just like this I’ve done this same thing. Stared up  from the wet cool grass.. squinting into the black sky.. Not daring to look away for fear I’d miss the biggest one. I watched with  my kids when they were young.. with diane before kids.. with friends in college.. with my folks.. as a kid myself..  It’s nice that no matter how much things change here on earth.. some things are constant…

nite all.. nite sam.. catch one for us..
