was the long, dark driveway of the senior Whitaker's, out in the middle of Grain Valley. Diane
was able to spot two or three and I just one. We started out around 11 p.m. and looked in the
south east. Then we went to the young Witaker's street and later to Ryan Road. I think we were
actually a day late. Sally just stood on her deck last night and saw a gigantic shooting star of
varying shades of color. Later, after midnight, she and John were able to spot several more.
The Perseids usually occur between August 10 and 13, yet Neil, whose birthday is August 13, didn't know about it until I told him two or three years ago. Now, I hope, in my limited vision of heaven, he is looking at the stars from a different angle, but can still see the Perseids.
