Thanks for the "Technique Notes" on George's Speed Scale... Looks like I may 
have been using the Speed Scale differently all this time! Somehow I always 
interpolated George's comments that "Very Slow" meteors were rare, to imply 
that "Very Fast" meteors were also rare. Tain't so, it seems!

So then for George, it's NOT fair to say Very Fast Sporadics in the AM are 
unusual... (Though for myself, I still can't get away from seeing a qualitative 
difference between Perseid and Leonid speeds? Come to think of it, I see the 
occasional meteor that APPEARS even faster than an average LEO!)


Well anyway, I still end up thinking George's 5 meteors sound suspiciously like 
DAUs, or else from a related radiant - would y'all agree?

Thanks again, and clear skies!
Lew
