I thought you were 6' 8". And if you were wearing heels...well....

I blew all my money on garters and panties. I have to save up to get the shoes.

i went out at 530 local time. saw 3 in 5 minutes; the moon jupiter and venus framed a remarkable view...

Too bad you didn't see any....but then, it is always a crapshoot anyway. You don't know how many will appear, how long they will last or how bright they will be or where in the sky they will be when they do.

I saw about 20-30 tonight from 11 PM to 4:30 AM.

These days that is pretty good.

But then, my house is surrounded by minimum 100-foot tall oak trees, and the space in the tree canopy I look through is only about 1/20th of the sky.

Without the fucking trees I would be able to see a lot more.

That was one minor way where Kansas was good for something.....if you wanted to stargaze, you could see horizon to horizon more often than not. Here in the wooded SouthEast, it is the other way around.


Here. Best one I have gotten. Quality is not perfect, as with my crummy dialup connection I cannot upload it uncompressed.

So this will get the point across anyway.

NICE! I went out around midnight Knoxville time and only saw two. Which is better than none.
