Last night we bundled up like mummies in sweatshirts, blankeets and bugspray - armoring ourselves against the mosquitoes to sit out on the deck and watch for metors! Up here, away from (most) light pollution we sat entranced undet the brightening milky way waiting for the shooting star show to begin. As each one streaked in a glittering arc across the sky we cheered and hooted, acknowleding the work of the Master Showman. And we marveled at the incredible number of satellites flying around up there. A far cry from the days of lying on our backs in our yard, waiting anxiously for the ONE SOLITARY FLIGHT of Sputnik across the summer sky.
