It was too bad that our star gazing gathering was rained out this week. 
Couldn't see the meteor shower either.
But I've been loving the rainbows, eh!

Check out this very strange news report about a fireball (not related to the meteor shower) that happened last night. I'm not sure what to believe!!
from SPACEWEATHER .COM GREAT FIREBALL: A remarkable midnight fireball that "turned night into day" over parts of the western United States last night wasnot a Leonid. Infrasound measurements suggest a sporadic asteroid not associated with the Leonid debris stream. The space rock exploded in the atmosphere with an energy equivalent to 0.5 - 1 kilotons of TNT. Approximately 6 hours later, observers in Utah and Colorado witnessed a twisting iridescent-blue cloud in the dawn sky. Debris from the fireball should have dissipated by that time, but the cloud remains unexplained; we cannot yet rule out a connection to the fireball event. Stay tuned for further analysis. videos: #1, #2, #3.
