Camelopardalids

[petey]

Meteor shower, possibly a storm on Saturday morning. 3am on the east coast. Sounds like something worth staying up for.

Yeah. I've had it with meteor showers.

And eclipses.



Switching to volcanos.

Don't blame me, I was only the messenger. We set up some lawn chairs on the starry shores of the Saugeen River and immediately two meteors whizzed overhead and they came from the right direction. Over the next two hours we saw nada, zilch, zippo.

I keep thinking this refers to the genus cameltoeperopterus

Best. Meteor. Shower. Costume. Ever.
