I saw one!

The Perseids are out in force tonight.
Our local skies are so lousy with cloud cover that one can hardly see regular stars, let alone shooting ones, but I think I saw one! At least, if that tiny bright spot that streaked across the sky wasn't a good candidate, then I don't know what was.
ETA: The skies cleared up, for a while at least.
I have never been so grateful to be assigned the emergency midnight shift.
EATA: Apparently those few minutes of clear skies were all I was going to get...it's been all wall of clouds ever since. I saw a handful in that time...will have to tide me over, I suppose.
