All those boxes are out of the corner and “just like that” my kayak has a new home.  Thing is, I was thinking of paddling today. After all it’s going to be a blazing 44F. Well, maybe.

Then this evening it’s off for our annual Christmas Lights parade in Downtown Baraboo. Each year I take photos there are used for a variety of local print stuff over the following year.  It’s a challenging job.  Imagine shooting low light subjects that are constantly on the move!

And speaking of lights on the move, tonight is the peak of the November Leonid meteor shower. The Leonid meteor shower happens every year around November 17th when Earth passes close to the orbit of comet Tempel-Tuttle.  The comet itself is a long way off, but it always leaves a nice trail of debris in it’s wake.  The down side however is that Temple-Tuttle last passed by in 1999 so there is not so much dust to light up the sky.  Astronomers predict about 10-15 meteors per hour.  Compare that to around 8 per hour that fall on any given night regardless.  The upside is that there a couple other minor showers going on as well so maybe it will pick up.
