Lat S 38 23°/ long W 087 42°

15 Dec Tuesday Day 27
Tonight was a very starry night, the stars dipped right down
to the horizon, and there was an unusually high number of shooting stars. It is said that
you may wish for something at a shooting star, you must not talk about what
your wish, so I will not.
But now we have at least a good wind this morning ...


(According to a comment from Cousin Anders the shooting stars
belong to the meteor swarm Geminides. The Earth crosses their path every year at about Lucia)
