The Friday before last I went out to the desert with a bunch of friends to watch the meteor shower. Even if there had been no shooting stars, it was amazing just to be able to see the Milky Way. We put out a couple of blankets and enjoyed the show (including "oohing" and "awwing" at almost every meteor). It's awesome how something so simple can be so breath-taking.
Side note - We didn't realize until we were halfway there that it was Friday the 13th. Good news: we weren't in a campy horror film so we all made it back alive.
Side note 2 - Just as we were about to pack it up and move inside for the night we heard something in the desert. We weren't quite sure what it was - someone suggested it might be a whimpering dog or a coyote - but then the source was spotted. A huge owl on the wires not too far away (mostly a shadow). We got to see it swoop away into the night. It was a good close to the evening.
