There are not very many Taurids to see and I have not seen one yet.
But I was thrilled to see Orionid Meteors.

And I am looking forward to the Leonids!

While I have been outside looking up more I noticed my attitude
shifting back into scientific optimist mode. This is the first year
of many nearly cloud-free October and November days and nights in a
long while around S.E. Wisconsin.

I even saw the November 2 Jupiter, Moon, and Venus dusk juxtaposition.
I had to walk a ways out of my usual tree canopied way but I decided
it was worth the extra exercise.

Wonder On Shaman Fools!
