yep - me neither... had me window open and looking up at sort of clear sky last night till I fell asleep:025:. Any chance to see it tonight? Still hopeful :022: even with my neck slightly twisted...
When I was child I used to see them a lot - but it was in countryside - outside cloudy UK... Cities could switch the lights off at least for 1 hour so we could see a bit more and even save energy... maybe next year

Just my add on: everytime I saw one I wish something nice to come true too - I absolutely forgot about that - thanks for mentioning it!

Binah, I truely believe in this, the day before I met my hubby, I wished I could find a good boyfriend who I'd have a lasting relationship with.......met my hubby the next day and we've been together for 20 years now.

How wonderful for you and your husband may you have another 20 more years of happiness

Seen nothing for two days running :dft004:

Each year, it's only maybe a 36 hour thing. You could see them Tuesday and Wednesday night. 🙂

I remember the first time I went to North Carolina(NC). I arrived at Atlanta airport, drove to where I was staying in NC. When I got out of the car, I had never seen so any stars in the sky and within a few seconds on I saw a shooting star. It was then I realised how much light polution we have in the UK.

I've never in the world seen the Milky Way as you can in the mountains of Afghanistan. (No clouds, high altitude so less air distortion, zero artificial light.) You can see its whole shape clearly, the 'holes' in it and the outline which is not regular. It glows. Troops and reporters out there say the same.
