Recent posts about the stars brought back my memories of childhood nights at my grandparents who lived way out in the country in deep East Texas. I was always enchanted at how bright and numerous the stars were in the sky when we got away from the city. I didn't know for years why the sky looked that way - I thought it was just part of the package of visiting my grandparents.
Many years later, my brother and I were at a party out at a lake some distance from the city. It was a heavily wooded area, and I hadn't noticed the sky at all. Suddenly, we all looked out and saw one of my brother's inebriated friends lying flat on his back in the middle of the road - fortunately, a deserted country road. We all went running out to him to see what had happened to him, convinced that we would find him bleeding. He was having the time of his life - "Wow, man, look at the stars!!". We all just laughed and shook our heads at the city boy, and left him there.
