We're doomed.
Make your peace with G_d and neighbors, because we all die this week.
We'll be bombarded this week by THOUSANDS of projectiles from outer space,
and the only way to escape death will be to be statistically normal -- not
a very good option for this particular BCC list!
The Perseids will be here in the wee hours of Thursday morning, AND there
will be an additional stream, briefly, starting Wednesday about 4:50m
EDT. The additional stream is predicted to have well over a hundred
meteorites per hour.

For best viewing, you shold be a considerable distance from cites like
Pittsburg, and at least 1,392 feet above sea level, such as Slippery Rock,
and ideally the area immediately surrounding you should be illuminated by
nothing more than campfires, lanterns, or candles.
(Of course, with our luck, it will be raining . . .)
