I kept going outside and saw nothing. Then I had this awesome dream where a bunch of meteors were falling from the sky and onto people's houses and a satellite crashed into the river.

was pretty good last night. Not the best i've seen but I saw the best one of my life. Was so bright!

Also awesome that in my city I can drive for 5 mins and see the milky way (faintly). I can see the light pollution from vancouver from here and realize how lucky that my city has at least kind of a dark sky.

Drove out to my friends place in the country to see it last night. Too much light pollution here. It was really sick to just lay out in a hayfield and watch it.

Ah that was so sick. Just went outside for like 15 minutes in just my boxers and glasses with my neck craned back cuz it's too wet to sit down. Saw like 4 shooters and 1 wicked bright blue and orange shooter and 1 blue ish flash. So worth the neck pain
