Two topics:
1. Did anybody see a reasonable show of Perseids? I had very foggy
conditions at two different sites (Sunday and Monday nights) and saw only a
few. I shot some film but I'm not optimistic.

2. Galen Rowell was not an astro-imager but was famous for his superb nature
photography National Geographic, several books)  and is one of my idols.
This morning's newspaper reported the death of both Galen and his wife
Barbara Rowell, as well as the pilot and another pasenger of the chartered
plane in the Sierra. Cause unknown at this time.
