Weather reports for our area 20 miles north of Kingston, Ontario
didn't look promising, but I set my alarm for 2:00 a.m. to check. Hit
the snooze button, then dragged my groggy self out of bed. Clear sky!
Bundled up with warm clothes and big klunkety boots that would keep
my feet warm and dry in the rain soaked grass, collected camera and
tripod and headed out to where I had a view of Camelodorkus just over
the trees. Set up and waited. Held my breath with anticipation. And
waited. Fiddled with the camera. Whistled to the whipporwill. And
waited. Meteor "shower" my ***! Saw one fast little meteor whizz
across Ursa Major, watched the ISS and a couple of satellites come
over, but meteor "shower"? Nada. Once again my hopes for lovely
sparklies was dashed like fine crystal over a rock cliff.
This sleep-depriving bone chilling stiff neck inducing event of major
disappointment brought to you by the same sadistic fiends who promised
me that Comet Eyesore would be the comet of the century. Pfft!
Phooey! Rats!
