I know I took some ribbing last time I posted one of these, but I 
really am jealous of those of you that live so close to the 
beachfront on nights like this.  Catch this one if you can - it 
should be the best one of the year.

This from Sky and Telescope:


The Geminid meteor shower, possibly the year's best, should peak 
late [Wednesday] in the moonless dark sky. The best time should be 
from about 10 p.m. until moonrise before dawn. Bundle up very 
warmly, find a place with a wide-open sky view and no glary lights, 
lie back on the ground or in a reclining lawn chair, and watch the 
stars. The best direction to look is where your sky is darkest. Give 
your eyes at least 20 minutes to dark-adapt. You may see a meteor a 
minute on average.
