If you like astronomy, catch a nap now & make some coffee in the middle of the night. I was up watching it before sunrise this morning, it was OK, but I heard it hasn't peaked yet.

Free entertainment, perfect if you have a low maint. type woman.

I think it is going to be a clear night tonight and tomorrow night also, for the area that i'm in.

My dad used to take us out to the boonies for these, I've done it once with my wife, too bad I work all weekend. Thanks for the heads up though, my daughter would have liked it too(5yo).

Wife and I are gonna nap, then head out to Snoqualmie Pass.

Clear as a bell here, not a cloud in the sky.

You can head out to Stocker Fields in Snohomish too, I was there last night and you could see them whenever they shot across.

Great show - I only had about 30 mins to watch it - but totally worth it.

I saw it when I was up in the adirondacks floating on a lake. Unbelievable up there. The only better place I can think of seeing it is on the middle of the atlantic.
