Managed about 45 minutes (4:30 - 5:15) saw a fair number of streaks, some left glimmering trails that persisted for several seconds. Thought about how small our habital world is. Even though the atmosphere extends 100 miles up, (where the meteors are), the breathable atmosphere is only 2 miles thick. Imagine a thin shell 2 miles thick on the surface of a planet 7,000 miles in diameter. Seems pretty small in this vast universe....

Next meteor shower I gotta' prepare better, sleeping bag and lawn chair or blanket (I'm out of practice for this stuff).
