I buck too (and wheel align)

[Larry C Leung]

Comet Temple-Tuttle last passed in 1998 (amidst no fanfare, it's been
orbiting too many times to make it an interesting comet). The Leonids
will only get weaker until T-T returns, 30 years or so from now. There
are other regular meteor showers (Persieds is the last I can think of.)
Maybe you can get a better view of that than I did. Last time I saw it,
it was like meteor, wait, wait, wait, no, wait, oh, theres another little
one.....
