These "campesinos" were more livestock ranchers than planters of crops, but I am sure the little planting they do is tightly linked to phases of the moon and time of year and all that. This region in Colombia has no seasons to speak of, other than a dry and a rainy one. Nothing like what we'd call Winter, so they can really plant year round, with some care to avoid doing improper things during that rainy season I mentioned.

And the Perseids, yes, I try to keep abreast of things like that. I enjoy lying outside on my lawn, with a blanket, and staring up into infinity as I watch shooting stars go by. I'll say that, yes, interest in Astronomy is on the rise. People are starting to look up again...
