Jonathan,
	Do not give up on the Quadrantids yet!!! It's still over 2 weeks away, 
and if you can get out on the 2/3 you may see quite a few. The weather is 
not predictable that far in advance!!
Have faith!!! Also, the Ursids peak this weekend (Sat night) and there may 
be a small hole between the eternal clouds.

Wayne, the optomist

You want to borrow my raft?  

I got some more rain(I have seriously been thinking that it will never 
stop!), 
but it appears I will not need your raft.  The pond right now is full, but 
the 
standing water has enlarged it by 4 square feet.  I looks like I will not 
see 
any shower meteors until Februrary.
