Hello peter@brunone.com (Peter Brunone),

In reference to your comment:

è I could've sworn that folks here had said that the moon
è would be near the horizon during peak times in the
è US. Anyone?

Peter,
The moon will be overhead around 11pm. As the radiant (Leo) rises, the moon will also glide down toward the western horizon. So, earthgrazers will have an overhead moon, but the rest of the shower will have a sinking moon.
Anthony
