On Monday night the Leonids meteor shower was visible. Overall, it was pretty weak showing. After going up to Chabot to try and get a good look, I maybe saw a total of 3 meteors and then a second trip up to Lawrence Hall of science yielded maybe 2 more.

I was excited though because it reminded me a lot of the last time I saw this meteor shower. The last time was in 2001, when I still lived at 2610 Benny. I remember walking out into the street with our housemates late at night and lying down in the middle of the street to watch the meteor shower. Haha periodically getting up when we saw a car coming down the street.

Even with overtly yellow street lights ruining our nightvision, we were able to see tons of meteors… *sigh* yea, that’s a memory that still makes me smile involuntarily.
