More Meteors; My Randomness

There's another meteor shower on the way, and this time it's the Leonids. While they should have been visible over the past week and remain so throughout the next, the peak is at the extremely reasonable date and time of Saturday evening (the 18th), 11:45pm EST (10:45 Central), lasting for a possible two hours. In good locations at least 150/hour could be visible. There's no need to get up at (or stay up until) 5am. So go watch!

If you don't have access to a favorable viewing location, there's also an article describing how to hear the Leonids. Of course, the only regular radio I have easy access to is in my car (or did I hide my travel radio in my closet?), and I cain't claim to have an amateur radio on hand, but if I manage to get out to a clear location for the show I will certainly try to hear them as well.

On a completely unrelated note, Walgreens rocks for their clearance (90% off!) candy I found the other day. I walked out with two bags of pretending-to-be-whoppers-only-not, a bag of "fun sized" (and who determined that?) Milky Way bars, a bag of Hershey's dark chocolate kissables, and a bag of white chocolate M&Ms for under $1 total.

I must now go cry because the lettered limited edition of Saints I raved about in this post is now sold out, and I never convinced myself to buy one. My OSC collection will never forgive me.
