At J's bedtime, I was looking out his little square window that faces south, where I've been admiring extra-bright Jupiter, Saturn, and my favorite summer star Fomalhaut - and all at once, right across the two planets, there was a very bright, bold, shooting star! I'd written off the Perseids with all the wildfire smoke, but today's air was extra-clear, and there it was. Later I stood in the driveway for a while, looking for more. I could see quite a few more stars than usual, ever since they changed the street lights to the obnoxious ones, and the Milky Way as well, and eventually I did see one more meteorite, over toward the southwest.
