[...] you are setting up for some meteorite shower viewing, why not collect some space dust as well? Whether rain or snow, the leftover dust will eventually be washed out of the atmosphere [...]

Thanks, Kathy. I hope you (and they) enjoy it! I need to pick up some distilled water before it rains. Clouds threatening…

I know how that is with sleep! But that is one thing nice about winter stargazing. You can usually catch a few constellations and still turn in at a decent hour!

I’m not sure we’re up to the stargazing, as I am grasping at every nanosecond of sleep I can get, but we will definitely collect the space dust! Thanks for a great idea, and for detailed directions.

Thanks, too, for your comment on my blog. Much appreciated.

And what do you know? We’re supposed to have clouds with a chance of rain all week long. May not see the Orionids, but hopefully we’ll have a chance at collecting some space dust!

If only I had written it before you went camping. Can’t imagine doing that right now. It is cold! Noticing because our heat went out and the heat guy didn’t show up Friday afternoon as scheduled. He has some ’splainin’ to do!

We have newborn quintuplets in the house now, so I hope it doesn’t get too cold! (The gerbils had their babies. Have some video to share when we come up with our transfer thingy).
