I'm back

There was a Perseid meteor shower last week on the 12th. My idiot calendar says the 12th but what it should really say is 'the night of the 11th' and I missed it...again...saw one or two strays on the night of the 12th though.
It was meant to be on the 12th and 13th so I'm surprised you didn't see more. Also, once it gets past 12:00 it's the next day so technically it was the 12th. Count yourself lucky though, I didn't get to seen anything.

Yeah, well you always hear these splashy descriptions like 80 meteors in an hour at the peak, but I have yet to ever see anything like that. 80% of the time it's overcast and you don't see anything anyway :( Next year, I'm gonna mark the night before on the calendar, though :) There's the Leonids? in the fall too, I think.

Christian got something to work but it broke later. JSOP has depleted the worlds' supply of lead and black powder quite considerably. hammerstein05 also went on holiday. I'm surprised you didn't meet him. That's it. Nothing else at all has happened. Not a single thing. Nothing

Just got back from 3 weeks in France. Beautiful country and great food but the amount of smoking they do compared to the US is a bit hard to tolerate. What did I miss?

Hamsters went on strike for a few hours one day.... They were whipped back into line. three members had heart attacks, one a panic attack and had to breath through a paper bag. The others made pokes at the hamsters in the back room.... When will they learn?
