It is supposed to peak at 7:00 a.m. Eastern time, but should be visible for several hours on either side of that window.

Gonna stay up and watch it?

I'm walking the dogs at 6am every morning...i'll keep an eye out...well at least one eye on the sky and another on the pit wrestling with the shepard.

I've been at work for a bit over an hour when it's supposed to happen. I think I'll ease outside and see if I can spot anything.

"The time of the closest approach should be 4:50 p.m. ET Wednesday and could last about 40 minutes, favoring observers in Eastern Europe and eastern North Africa, eastward to central Russia, India and western China. Unfortunately, if a sudden bevy of Perseids materializes, North Americans would miss out, since it happen during local afternoon hours."

Just a little "heads up" our friends across the pond.

Anyone else get alarmed when deathfromtheskies starts talking about meteor showers, or is it just me?

Shepard? Is that a German Shepard? If so, I know what you mean. I have two of them and if you don't keep an eye on them, they will happily tear your arms out of their sockets to get at a rabbit or cat. ~grin~

As for the meteor shower, I probably will be sleeping at that time. I'm not too keen to get up at 0500 hrs in the morning.

Actually the pit and german sheppard...both with papers and all...are hillarious because the sheppards just a puppy and he plays by dragging the 20pound chain I keep around the pits neck...it almost looks like the sheppard is walking the pit.

The sheppard...who's name is Rush =)...is going to be trained to recognize certain parts of my property and with a single word command go to the designated area...so far the chicken coop is being known as red....a huge tree in the back yard known as white...and the front porch as Blue....So far he's 9weeks old and has learned sit...treat...come...inside...outside...Sheppards are as smart as they come.

Well, some are. Duchess our long haired German Sheppard is probably one of the smartest dogs we have ever had. Daka on the other hand, is probably one of the dumbest. Probably because Duchess loves to run him into the walls. It kind of funny watching both of them run around the yard and then you hear this SLAM, and Daka is stumbling around shaking his head. LOL!

This is just odd...I don't even know how to describe it.

Shouldn't you have an overweight St Bernard carrying Laudinum in a cask if you're going to name it Rush?

I'm a liberal. I have cats, not feeling the need to have an animal that obeys me completely who I can teach to do tricks.

I'll leave that to Cheney.

Pahhlease. My first job ever was as a Veterinarian's Assistant. I could kill your fu[i][/i]cking hounds without blinking.

Not that I'd ever want to go your little craphouse anyhoo.

smashedpickle,

Lol does anyone here actually think smashedpickle could solo a full grown pit and german sheppard at the same time? That's something I'd pay to see.

I could do it with machete and a blanket. But it's more my style to poison them or just shoot them.
