washington had a ton of stars lol but here its like what stars? xD
I can usually find Orion, the Big Dipper (Polaris of course), and I can faintly see the Seven Sisters from my back yard. I need to dig through my parents house and find my telescope from when I was a kid. I bet the lenses are *** though.

That sucks! I'm relatively close to downtown Austin, but I can imagine how disruptive LA lights are. How far outside of LA would you have to drive to get a good view?

That's miserable! We have an observatory somewhere in the Hill Country that I think is no more than forty-five minutes away from here. For a really good view I just need to drive about fifteen to twenty minutes in just about any direction, and find some back roads.

So the meteor shower last night was a slight disappointment. Nothing super flashy or exciting, but I did get to see a good handful of shooting stars within a 3-4 hour time frame. Cept it was cold as balls and I couldn't stick around much longer. However, I think the main thing was the passive bliss of being out in the middle of nowhere in total darkness aside from the moonlight and twinkle of the cosmos themselves. Something about the darkness, stars and silence brings about a nice feeling of serenity.
I think when I get a car I'll get a pickup truck so I can have an inflatable mattress in the bed and just go stargazing time to time.
I miss being out in the middle of no where, where there was no light pollution and just staring at the stars.
move to lubbock
I don't want to move to the middle of nowhere, I just miss being there at night..
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
