If you are in the North, it should be South and high in the sky.

i'ma box up some of this swamp ass and send it to your front door! (or porch, or dock, or whatever the fuck you have)
edit: where is the moon in the sky right now? seeing as how the full is waning. other than last year, most times we had meteor showers, it was during a full moon rising in or near the direction the meteors were in.
my outhouse is somehow in a prime position, because last year, when i'd go out to take a shit at 4:30-5am, i could see 1-3 shooting stars ALMOST every morning. not as cool as a meteor shower, but still fucking

I have a porch, a door, and a dock. Take your pick. I'll enjoy some of the nice evening later for you.

Aquarius is about to come up over the horizon in the east maybe a little north east from the bay area. So I'd say east in about an hour or so and then just straight up late night at like 12-3am. They said 20 an hour. At the peak 3-5am probably a lot more.

That's what sucks you have to stay up late to really see a good show cuz the days are so long in the summer.. 2-3am
One time in the winter my cousin and I were doing blow and laid on some lawn chairs late to smoke a cig at like 230am without knowing a meteor shower was going down. Started seeing them and laid there for over an hour with beers, snorties and ciggies having a blast.

Yeah sounds like its best just before dawn, from what I just looked up. Might set my alarm. So much light pollution though.

Yesterday morning around 4-5 am i was smoking a cigarette and looking up at tge sky because it seemed more clear than usual when i saw a shooting star in the sky and followed it accross the sky into the sunrise of the morning.
It was beautiful
