Jenn and I just got back from Joshua Tree where we went to watch the Leonid Meteor Storm. I've seen "shooting stars" before, and I've even watched a meteor shower, but this was incredible. The operative word as "storm." At around 2am in the desert, they forecasted approx. 1000 meteors per hour, which would mean one every three seconds... and that was a low estimate! You couldn't look somewhere in the sky without seeing a meteor! It was awesome! We saw several meteors that were spectacular beyond description, two of which left a visible stream of superheated air that lasted for 10 minutes or more.

We enjoyed a drive out to Joshua Tree with Ken and Shelley, made a fire at a friend of a friend's house and made S'mores, played a few card games, and then sat under the stars freezing our butts off. :)

Very very cool.

Oh, and go see Harry Potter. :)
