I wonder if it will keep getting hazier and cloudier around here! I
am still hoping for clearer (that usual) skies for Leonid Meteor
watching. But now I realize I will have to be a 'diehard meteor
enthusiast' fool to go out there in the wee pre-dawn hours and peer
through the waning but still bright Moonlight!

If the sky is clear will I sit this one out at my age? I like to
shamanic journey towards Near Earth Objects anyway. Maybe November 17
will be a night of shamanic dreaming about meteors and whatever
spirit-energies they might be stirring up.
