Went out and checked out the meteor storm.
Not exactly fireworks but I did see about a dozen flashes and streaks.

It was cold as hell but walked a few blocks down to the beach.
This is near some cliffs so I just sat at the stairs to the shore.
It's refreshing to get out in the natural habitat. Man I don't make enough use of my location.
Tripped around on the rocks and tidepool crags.
Had my digital cam too. The best pics were of the stairs and signs, the water was too far away to catch the flash. No I wasn't trying to take pictures of the shooting stars. I'm not that stupid.
Walking back I saw this girl in her pajamas looking at the sky. I live in a hippy kind of place so it's not that unexpected.
She was dark haired with glasses, maybe partly asian or hispanic. She had an unaffected hippy dippy kind of voice, real slow and mellow.
I was able to talk to her pretty casually considering it was 2:30am on the sidewalk. Again for the place I live it's not that unusual.
It's really cool having a natural event to bring up small talk.

I kind of wish I could have just stood around staring at the sky like a stoned hippy but I gotta job dammit.
Oh well, fare thee well mellow woman of the white pajamas.

Oh boy can't wait to get my refreshing 5 hours of sleep. DOH!
