re: Perseids coming your way
After weeks of high humidity, thunderstorms, and fog (72 and foggy?!?) here in Rhode Island, tonight is supposed to be perfectly clear, dewpoint in the high 50s (trust me, that's low for here in August), and it rained less than 24 hours ago to clear away dust and smog. Should be my first good meteor shower since the 2001 Leonids (now _that_ was something...).
