2:02 p.m.
I woke up unexpectedly just before 5 a.m. this morning, and after going downstairs to get some water, glanced outside and saw clear sky, so I wandered into the back yard and enjoyed the view for several minutes. Perseus was high overhead, Orion mostly clearing the mountaintops, Capella gleaming brightly in the NE. It's amazing how... comforting it is in the calm of early morning to just throw your head back, look up and forget life's cares for a few minutes. I even managed to see a couple of faint Perseids as an added bonus. Sometimes it's just enough (and then some) to just get out and look up and enjoy. /Rich
