Did anyone else see them? We went out at 3:30am, watched it until around 4:15am, returned home, tried to sleep until 8:00am. Now I have a splitting headache and I have to take some kids fishing. :-X ;D Not a bad meteor shower. We saw maybe 3 dozens... I was surprised no one else was there watching... But, we saw a couple roller blading. People do the weirdest thing at 3am.

The Perseids are always a great show.  The moon is also approaching a new moon too so theres more to see.
