Just a FYI, but it's that time of the year again.

I'm likely in again this year. Thursday night, right?

Vu, are you thinking of going to the same place (not that it is a guarantee to get into the same lot, but I mean out towards Mt Hamilton again)?

Yes, the Earth passes through debris from a comet. The debris stays in the same place and Earth passes through it around the same time every year.

I don't know if I'm actually going this year or not.
