(meteorobs) 20/21Oct2008 Quick Impression from E. Oklahoma (andTest)

[meteors at comcast.net]

Michel,

I wasn't able to squeeze any observing time in due to work and my daughter's 13th birthday....but now Wayne is making me wish I had after seeing his report! ;->

We have rain forecast for the LMI maximum, so I may strike out this week...
