Perseid Meteor Shower

It's that time of year again. Tonight and tomorrow night. according to USA Today, the best viewing is between 1am and 3am Fiday Morning which for our foreign guests 0600-0900 UTC. From the BBC:

Skies set for meteor extravaganza

The light show will not be spoilt by moonlight this year

The annual Perseid meteor shower, which peaks on 12 August, could provide a "spectacular" show this year, experts have forecast.
Sky watchers can expect to see meteors from a dark location on 12 and 13 August after 2330 BST, but they may be treated to two early "surges".

One of these may occur on 11 August at 2200 BST, while another may be visible just before dawn on 12 August.

Unlike last year, there will be little moonlight to spoil viewing.

It's been a while since I have had the pleasure of watching them, if not the moon, the weather conspires against against me. Hopefully it will be different this time around. WooooHoooo

Gettysburg Address

Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final resting place for those who died here that that nation might live. This we may, in all propriety do. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have hallowed it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

It is rather for us the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth."
