I was out observing in my light polluted urban back yard on December 13, 
from 1:35 AM PST to 2:45 AM PSTagain.  I faced West this time and had 
well over two thirds of the sky obscured by buildings and trees.  I was 
only able to see two Geminids.  However the first of these was the 
brightest Geminid I have ever seen at a -4.0 magnitude.  The second was 
a 2.0.  I did see one sporadic at a magnitude of 0.0. I don't consider 
this good scientific data but for those curious soles,  I am at 118o 03m 
32s West Longitude and +34o 09m 55s North Latitude in sunny southern 
California.
