Star gazing

Saw about 12 meteors in the time it took me to drink one beer. Wanted to see a few more before I called it a night, but then I went on a serious drought.

I was sitting real still, staring up at one star in particular. Suddenly, I felt like something else was nearby. I looked down and there was an orange cat about 10 feet away from me. Made my stomach jump.

Stupid cat waited a minute and then tried to rub against me. At least he waited until I saw him before he tried that, can you imagine how bad he would have scared me had he rubbed up on me sight unseen?

Finally saw a couple more meteors after about a 15-minute dry spell.

Highlight was seeing three good ones, directly overhead, all within a minute...
