This does sound like the one to watch. Thanks Frank for posting this.
The post reminds me of watching this same shower many years ago with my two elderly (80+) neighbors. They were thrilled at the prospect and didn't mind being out in the cold. When they showed up, I could hardly recognize them for all their clothing. I do not think they could even look up for the head coverings. And they brought the usual supply of cookies and coffee.
So, we solved the viewing problem by placing a large mirror on the back deck table. We sat around sipping and chatting, the sky was constantly in full-view with no 'neck' effort.
We had a blast. The sky was active and they talked about that night for years.
