I didn't see it, but if you did, yes, you weren't drunk.

April 21 - May 21, peaking on this Thursday May 6.

Went out Friday night with the wife. Drove up to the top of a mountain. Had some nice reclining fold up chairs. Found a great spot. Sky was clear. Got set up and within 5 mins a bunch of asshole clouds rolled in and ruined everything. Stayed out for about 45 mins hoping the clouds would go away to no avail. ?_?

Went out to the backyard on Sat night at like 2am though and saw about 6 over the course of an hour before falling asleep. One was big enough to see it's tail. Was pretty good.

I just saw one myself. The best meteor shower I ever saw was the Leonids in 1998. I saw probably two or three dozen fireballs that night, each brighter than Venus at its brightest. That was the last major peak of the Leonids; I think they have a peak every 33 years or so (when comet Tempel–Tuttle swings by with a heavy dust cloud).

sounds nice

I've grown to dislike the cold

maybe if I wasn't working I could appreciate it, but I have to move around a lot at work and I feel encumbered by long pants and bulky clothing
