right now. I remember sitting on the front porch of my house in a small town in KS, and my Dad pointing out the Milky Way to me. No way to see it these days from where I'm at. I'm lucky to catch one of the "great" meteor showers... maybe one meteorite or two with trails IF the show is suppose to be one of the "great" ones. I look forward to December only for the meteor show around the Solstice. This year, if hubby is feeling good, we may bundle up and head out to the way farm area west of us to try to catch the show. It's hard to get away from the Kansas City lights, even this far out.
