Perseids

The best nights for viewing the Perseid meteors were thursday and friday nights. We were out on saturday night with our Scotch and cigars (and insect repellent), and saw a few, around midnight. I went out last night and saw one. It was a perfect night for viewing. A front had gone through, and the air was clear and cool. The moon had set early. There were no bugs. The air was a little chilly, but not cold. The patio still had some warmth for my bare feet. Too bad the peak was past.

park closes at dusk

I'm not sure how it can close at dusk, when it's not open in the first place. There's no gate.

There are hundreds of little parks scattered across New York City.
