Mark et al:

	I know how you feel.  Every major shower this past year has been 
clouded out at my location on Vancouver Island.  One reason I setup a 
forward scatter radio meteor detection system here.  Nothing has 
changed for the Geminids!  Rain is predicted.  :-(  No luck securing 
any spectra this year.  I HOPE 2008 will be better!  Now if I could do 
something about light pollution!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, or to be politicly correct, Happy 
Holidays!
