[Chaos-l] [Medoc-mountain-men] csc looking GOOD

[Tony Garcia]

I went south of Chapel Hill around midnight to a small park and watched the
sky for an hour.  Counted about 5 nice meteors with a little green color.
 Saw a few faint streaks but too much light pollution to confirm.

I had meetings first thing this morning so I could only do a short hop but
I was happy to see some actual sky.

And btw the Mars Rover landing last Sunday was awesome, watched it live and
it was a great moment.
