Freethinker: : one that forms opinions on the basis of reason independently of authority; especially : one who doubts or denies religious dogma By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out. Richard Dawkins, in "Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder,"

If the skies here on Long Island are clear tonight and my kids cooperate, I am going to see if I can find a dark area to take them to watch the meteor shower.
tommy, do you have a video camera that might capture the event? That would be cool to post if you can!
I didn't see one single meteor!
I dragged my kids to the the South Shore of Long Island and walked out onto the sand of one of the beaches around 10 pm and stayed there about a half hour. Saw lots of starts, but no meteor shower.
Later on during the night, after midnight, I took a peek outside my door and still nothing.
What a bummer!
tommy, that IS a bummer! Good try though, and you got a chance to stargaze with the kids. :-D They will remember that.
I will try again tonight, from my front yard that is. No driving to the beach again.
Hope you at least get to see a couple of them...I would be happy seeing one.
