The Perseid Peak

I am moping a bit. Despite predictions, last night was underwhelming for me due to my inadequate attempt to view meteors in the city. I know better. Light pollution is too much. I thought because all our street lights are gone due to our new road construction, that I would be able to see maybe 30 an hour instead of 130. Not a chance. Although I missed the very peak, Sunday night should still be worthwhile. I’ll set the alarm and venture to darkness with fingers crossed.
