Geminid meteor reports?

Anyone see the Geminids? What was there take on where they were?

I live 8 miles outside a moderate size city and saw about 50 from about
11pm to 1am. Really nice bright white ones.

Nope, saw absolutely nothing. Like every recent Meteor Shower this year, the
whole of the north of England was covered in CLOUD!!!! Grrrrrr!

I saw 60 from 22:00 to 24:00 HST (Hawaiian Standard time).

I watched for about an hour in south Louisiana, USA, and saw only two
meteors. Big disappointment.

I live about 50 miles north of San Francisco. Much to my disappointment
the sky was overcast. I did, however, see 2 meteors while sitting in my
hot tub during a brief 15-20 minute window of clearing sky. This was
about 2300 Pacific Time.

Sigh... As usual: overcast here in Holland... And if the cllouds go away for
once, the meteor shower just plain s-cks (like last year's perseids..).

For a long time...[sic]
My life had reached
A place where
Little
Surprise gaced my days,
Little sign of pleasure ahead,
No remarkable adventures lie ahead of me,
Or none that I could see. To say
I lived in constant pain overstates my un ~
Happiness.
To say
I travelled with my
Constant
Companion,
Boredom

Rings truth closer. Chimes more resonant.
And yet, not even
Thusly, fully the truth. So I lived
With no hope.
My malaise.
My dreams
Were pages in a book, I counted as days
Already lived.
And so, I found
My happiness in books.
Or rather, I searched
My happiness for books, wandering from page
To page, from shelf to shelf, searching,
Following a sentence that led onward, offered
Me
A window,
And so it was
One evening, long after
I'd drawn
The blinds, pulled
The covers to my chin, locked
The doors and retired to the book
Atop my bedside night table,
That I found
A story to my liking ~

From upstairs, you could see the sounds
Of the waves, even
On this overcast day, hear the tinkling
Silver, breathe the fragrant
Orange peel, finger the firm rind, taste
The sparkling bubbles against textureless
Glass, held on the tongue, tickling lips,
Opening passages,
Imagine the roasted pheasant,
With a pleasant curiosity,
I ~

"I do not know
If it would be possible
To experience on a matter of art, an impression
At once more singular and disquieting
Than that felt
By a stranger visiting Haarlem for the first time.
He has already left the railway
Before he seems to have entered into a sleeping
Town. The Kruisstraat opens
Before him, a long and absolutely deserted
Perspective."

~ Henry Havard

And Described by Great
Writers"

....an impression
At once more singular and disquieting
Than that felt
By a stranger visiting Haarlem for the first time.
He has already left the railway
Before he seems to have entered into a sleeping
Town. The Kruisstraat opens
Before him, a long and absolutely deserted
Perspective...

Leonarado
Hesitates,
Stands motionlessly, reluctantly,
Nervously,
One would say, if one concerned oneself, were
To more
Accurately surmise his mood,
If observing his small body

~ Brace ~

Himself
Against a sudden breeze.
His
Hair, white,
Riffles,
Touched,
Felt
By the wind, sparks a chill tracing,
Racing rapidly trhough his spine. A whine, one
Would overhear, if standing close. But none
Stands near. He stiffens his muscles, folds
His tail closer to his body, unsure, his resolve,
Unclear, unknowing
If venturing deeper into
This sleeping
Town
Will lead him closer to his goal.
He knows
Not,
Before a sudden impulse
Prompts him to turn,
Glancie briefly over his left shoulder, sealing,
Enclosing, exposing the image behind him,
The last place from
Which he has come. Satisfied,
For now,
His memory,
His picture,
The train station, fixed his mind,
For fear, his knowing,
He may,
Circle back,
If the road ahead ~ The long,
Absolutely
Deserted perspective
~ Leads him back
Again
And again
To the train station behind him.
Satisfied,
Or as much as he allows
Himself
To feel,
Such submission, on his journey, has
He learned. Leon resolves
The memory
Behind him, his view of the railway, and turns
Now regarding the future, staring
Ahead.
Leon steels his detemination, fixes his eyes
On the long perspective
Before him, inhales deeply,
Sighs sleepily,
Steps forward...
