A family came down the street and noticed me slewing around in the twilight

Like the night I woke our 8 year old granddaughter up at 4 AM and took
her outside to see the meteor spectacle forcast for that night
(Orionides??) - we watched the bright streaks of lights flying through
the night sky, wrapped in blankets, until, after an hour of craning our
necks to the sky, I suggested we go in. My reward was watching this
young girl - eyes transfixed to the sky, uttering one wow! after
another. Well worth the effort.
