Perseid Meteors

As it's nearing the peak of the Annual Perseid Meteor Shower, I'd planned a bit of a Geek-Fest last night :-) A bunch of friends, a tasty BBQ, a spot of music, lots of warm socks and sweaters, and a night of sky-gazing. Fun and shooting stars-a-plenty, and sore necks to boot. Caught myself out on a little thing I, like many others no doubt, used to do as a child: "I wish I can have a thousand wishes"... with every single spec of dust or debris that shot its not-so-merry-way across the atmosphere in feisty inferno.

Now then the excrutiating process of carefully choosing my precious tens of thousands of wishes commences ;-)
