> I have several stories to tell. Let's see now, there is the one about the scooter transmission, and the one about the $200 tackle box. Dull stuff. I went Murfreesboro, but I do that all the time, so nobody is interested in that. There is the forest fire story, but I think it's under control now as long as the wind behaves. No need to tell that one. I don't have any time left now anyway, because I have to get ready to watch the meteor shower. Now where did I leave that shower cap?

I have tried to watch it the last few mornings. I didn't realise it would be visible in the Northern Hemisphere too, probably because I'm stupid and was thinking of it as local weather. Hehe. It's all happening here from about 3 to 5 a.m. up until Wednesday morning. I have to get up at that time for work anyway this week, and ironically this is preventing me from seeing the big sky show, because if I had any days off I could have driven out of Auckland to see it away from the city lights. Besides, it's been cloudy every morning.

What with the current changes in my life, I thought it was kind of fitting to get my very own nice big Medieval Omen-Type Thingy to mark the occasion, courtesy of the annual Leonid Meteor Shower. I don't believe in astrology, but since nobody else has jumped up yet to say this is an omen of anything else, I'm going to claim it.
