....Oh but if I only could!!!  It's a little late to book a flight from Georgia, where, like Mark in SC it's
been nothing but thunderstorms day in and day out.  

    But I am going to try and tune in WGN AM 720 tonight to hear Bob Lunsford's Perseid radio interview.  I think it's on at 10:30 or 11:00 PM.  If I'm lucky the station will skip in and out a few times, I might actually hear a few  minutes of it!  Folks closer to Chicago should have no problem tuning it in.
Later I guess I'll go out and casually observe under the clouds.......... :o(
