anyone check it out? It was visible yesterday and tuesday night, the hill by my friends house probably wasn't the best spot to watch it but we saw it, it was pretty dope.

here's a link if you wanna read up on it a little.

I totally forgot about it =( I wanted to watch, but I think it was raining here that night, too, so the fact that it slipped my mind probably wasn't the only factor that would have kept me from watching.

Anyway, hopefully I can catch the next shower, whenever that is.

I trip right the Feck out seeing how fast those things go.. just the amount of energy in those things... really makes me think how small and insignificant we really are
