and then sometimes you end up driving around in Indiana trying to figure out if you could get in trouble for laying down in someone's yard at 2am. Ah yes, life, its random adventures and the places they take you saw me and a friend driving through Munster and Dyer on Thursday night (okay, really Friday morning) looking for a really really dark place to lay in the grass and watch a meteor shower.
I never realized how very hard it is to find the middle of nowhere, but after one false alarm (too much light pollution in this world!) we ended up below a very large power line in, um, Dyer? We think? Near the corner of 91st & Clark street laying in the bug infested grass watching an AMAZING meteor shower. Well worth the driving, the searching and the plotting. I love random adventures.

Wish I had been there! I went into the field behind our addition where it was much darker than next to my house, but still not dark enough. And I couldn't stay up past 12:30. Saw some amazing meteors, but it was more like scattered sprinkles than a shower.
