I escaped to Gig Harbor last night to try to get a good view of the Perseid Meteor Shower, thinking getting away from the city would cut down on the light polution and lying out on the beach and watching the "show" would be nice. Well, I was right about both those things, except the "show" turned out to be a real dud. I'm a little disappointed, especially considering I remember a few times being down at Rockaway Beach (OR) and seeing quite a few meteors.
