Comet 209P/LINEAR + possible new meteor shower?

[tgo747]

So I've been reading about this other comet that I've never heard of, linear. Apparently it is around the same area a Comet Panstarrs.

Also there is a possibility of a meteor shower from the comet.

There were some meteors, 5-10 per hour but that was it

Other People up and down the Americas saw "not much" apparently and it was supposed to be max'ing over there.

Expectations were always a little too high I suppose..

Over here in Britain of course, the our climate was helpfully stopping our amphibian skins from drying out by dumping

huge amounts of water on us the night before and after. I would go out tonight and look again but I fear I may actually dissolve.

Hey Ho, please Mr Lottery buy me that Home in the Namib.........

I'll settle for the High Andes.
