I did!

Bob woke me about a quarter to 5. I switched off the alarm and dressed warmly. We spotted a few out the window and Bob went back to bed. I went out, spread a beach towel on the trunk/back window of my car. I stretched out like it was a recliner and watched about 40 minutes of it. It was GREAT!!

I have seen metoer showers before but this was the BEST. As well as catching several straight above me, I caught flashes out to my far right and left - happy to have good peripheral vision. The best was near the edge of the periphry... it was like someone lit a match, burned brighter, lasted longer. AWESOME. A wonderful way to draw near to a Higher Power - watching that and knowing He is in charge! So glad I didn't miss it!!

I did return to bed and slept til nearly 10 - unheard of for me!!
