Well hello my good Earth friend. Come in mang. Take a seat take a seat please.  Its so nice to see you after these many days. Please, may I get you something to whet your whistle maybe?A Heineken Special Dark?  A cold Diet Pepsi perhaps?  How about Para Come"?  I just made some fresh and very stable Haggas. A heaping helping to calm your mind and swell your stomach?  Ahhh yes well yess I will have a Diet Pepsi with you then. Please let me say to you this utterance. On the eleventh day of the month of August the Earth will orbit thru the tail of comet Swift-Tuttle and as a consequence will allow us to view the largest and most spectacular Meteor Shower for the last 1,000,000,000 years!
Would you believe 10 years?
Would you believe last night?
Anyway my good and Earthly friend, I shall be taking this rare opportunity to Image (taking pictures and taking photographs is OUT)  the event from a location is Saint Charles county just adjacent to the Katy Trail and across 94 from Lost Valley Trail.  I shall arrive about midnight as it will take me about an hour to hike to the imaging location in the middle of a 5 thousand acre corn and sunflower field. The Perseid Shower should peak from about 2 AM to 2 45 AM or there abouts. Mostly.  This promises to be a pretty cool event for me. I'll be using the Bulb technique of imaging where you open the shutter WAY longer than normal to catch lots of light. Thats why it has to be so dark where the imaging takes place. I'll also be imaging in digital as well as film and digital video so who knows. I might go infrared. That is gonna be cool.  I'll be using 2 tripods as well for simulimaging. Gotta pack it in and pack it back out including any trash or discards or water bottles or crack pipes.
Care for another Diet Pepsi my fine friend?  Ok well then I shall let you be on your way. Watch the last step. It will rip your face off.  Come back soon. Trance On my freaky friend and Stay Frosty.

Hi Dino!

I've hiked out there myself. Hopefully you will be far enough away from the city so as not to have the light interfere with your pictures. Be sure to post your pictures for us!

Hopefully the helicopters that patrol the area all day and all night will come down to see me and give me a great photo op.

Or maybe aliens. Either way you will see what I see. Mostly.

Hello. My name is Dino and I am 48 years old. I am the Beta and the Zeta. I am Bi-Polar, I have a slight case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, I am Diabetic, I have Restless Legs Syndrome and I had a brain fart early in life. My hobbies include shooting and owning guns(NO HUNTING), computers, cats, photography, CB radio, Amateur radio(Call Sign N0RJP), Scanner radios, radios of all kinds, electronics, guns, Diet Pepsi, Trance music, and reading and learning about the sciences, especially Nuclear energy, Nuclear Weapons, Hi Energy Physics, Cosmology Astronomy as well as Quantum Physics and guns. I love anything to do with the military, especially military weapons. I visit strange places and take strange photos and share them. But I will tell you this........ I DeSPISE ROSIE ODONELL !!! I HATE HER I HATE HER I HATE HER !!!!! HOLY BEJESUS I HATE HER TO THE MAXXX!!!! I love hiking in the deep woods and forests of Missouri. My favorite place to be is Shannon county Missouri followed closely by Iron county. Shannon county, with Eminence, Summersville, Flat Rock, Akers, Burr Oak Basin and The Sunklands, Yuccapin Sink,Devils Well, Overcup Oak Sink, Pulltite Spring, Round Spring and Alley Spring and the whole of the great Ozark National Scenic Riverways. These are the places I must be. To be alone with the Alpha and the Omega. To see and feel the dark recesses of the forest floor and photograph the flora and the fauna. NEVER MISUNDERSTAND ME. I AM THE BETA AND THE ZETA. I AM A HIGHLY INTELLIGENT ANIMAL. DO NOT FEAR ME. I SEEK ONLY TO LEARN AND TEACH WHAT I HAVE LEARNED. FEEL THE RAINBOW ! TASTE THE RAINBOW !
