The sky opened up for me! BTW Gemini is directly overhead now. I went out and laid down on the dock and used my jacket for a pillow. I saw about a dozen really bright ones (one was cool as it was falling straight toward me so it looked like a star getting bright then flaming out). Then as my eyes acclimated I was seeing dozens of much fainter ones. There was one 3-4 second span it looked like fireworks as maybe 15 or so seems to fly out from the same spot, I had never seen that before. There was still some high altitude haze since the stars weren't as bright as they are on a perfect night but all in all it was very cool.
