Set your alarm clock. The Perseids are here, with the maximum expected at 7 a.m. EDT Tuesday. Get up early. Go outside while it's still dark. Wish upon a falling star.

Wishes don't know the difference between falling stars and meteors.

Thanks, Annie!

I'm gonna go outside right now. I bet I see four or five before I go to bed.

I was just outside, but I can't see anything yet. We have clouds across the whole sky. They are pinkish and pretty, though. I hope they'll be gone by morning.

Or falling apples, which is about all you'll get to wish on in your backyard so long as I'm around....

They're quite lovely - even at 6AM with a bit of light pollution I've been able to see one or two.

And if I could locate The Charlie Fox Singers I'd request this song:

Catch a falling star an’ put it in your pocket,
Never let it fade away!
Catch a falling star an’ put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day!

For love may come an' tap you on the shoulder,
Some star-less night!
Just in case you feel you wanna’ hold her,
You’ll have a pocketful of starlight!

Catch a falling star an’ ( Catch a falling . . . ) put it in your pocket,
Never let it fade away! ( Never let it fade away! )
Catch a falling star an’ ( Catch a falling . . . ) put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day! ( Save it for a rainy day! )

For love may come and tap you on the shoulder,
Some star-less night!
An’ just in case you feel you wanta’ hold her,
You’ll have a pocketful of starlight!

( . . . pocketful of starlight! ) [ hum in time ]

Catch a falling star an’ ( Catch a falling . . . ) put it in your pocket,
Never let it fade away! ( Never let it fade away! )
Catch a falling star an’ ( Catch a falling . . . ) put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day! ( Save it for a rainy . . . Save it for a rainy, rainy rainy day! )

For when your troubles startn’ multiplyin’,
An' they just might!
It’s easy to forget them without tryin’,
With just a pocketful of starlight!

Catch a falling star an’ ( Catch a falling . . . ) put it in your pocket,
Never let it fade away! ( Never let it fade away! )
Catch a falling star an’ put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day!

( Save it for rainy day! ) Save it for a rainy day!

Light pollution ain't the only pollution obscuring the sky around here....

We've got a pretty thick cloud covering over us. The sky has looked like it was going to rain for the last three days now, but we haven't had a drop yet.

Oh, Charles Fox Singers, you couldn't know that one of the bass players I studied BITD was Boz Burrell.

Where exactly are the Perseids? I think I've tried to see them before, but have never been successful. It's already light around here at 5 am though.

I dint see any either -- there was about 2/3 cloud cover, that's where the Perseids musta been.

We'll try again tonight.

Is someone searching for stars? I could really use a job you know...
