Oh well. Stayed up for the Geminids but only to see rain clouds. Loads of them. (Sorry bobito, wasn't my fault for the clouds. )

But if it wasn't for today, I wouldn't know there are actually meteor showers every few months or so, and surprisingly, they happen every year. Check out the dates:

Quadrantids January 4, morning Crescent, rises 4-5 a.m.
Lyrids night of April 21/22 almost Full
Eta Aquarids May 5, morning/evening New Moon
Perseids August 12, morning Sets around 2 a.m.
Orionids October 21, morning Rises around 1 a.m.
Leonids November 17, morning Rises late evening
Geminids December 13, evening Full Moon



I shall start making my holidays more meaningful by reading a book tomorrow. First up, my camera manual.
