I’m standing in my backyard in the dark before dawn. It’s 5
A.M. but the little dog that’s visiting us must have a bladder the size of a
grape because he can’t wait a minute more to do his business. Actually, I’m
happy to be out here because it’s time for the annual August meteor showers. My
eyes sweep the northeastern sky, looking for the constellation Perseus.
Suddenly a brilliant flash blazes a trail above me, then vanishes. Within
minutes, another does the same.
