(meteorobs) Leonids outburst clearly observed

[Bruce McCurdy]

Here in Edmonton the weather has been entirely cloudy with problematic 
highway conditions between here and clear skies. So I decided to live to 
delight in another day. :)

By far the highlight of this Leonid season has therefore been reading the 
reports of the outburst. My hearty congratulations to both observers and 
theorists -- this is how science is _supposed_ to work!
