Brennan and I got up to watch the Perseid Meteor Shower early Friday morning. We drove out toward Tonganoxie and put a blanket on the ground next to Dean and Cathy B.'s driveway. There we laid and watched the meteorites streak through the sky for an hour.
It wasn't as spectacular as Brennan had hoped. Maybe one or two per minute at best, and you had to be looking in the right place. During our hour we saw probably three or four huge, eye-catching ones and a few dozen short, little streaks.
In the end, I think it was pretty memorable for both us.
