Larry,
Great observation. Living here in eastern WA we can see tons of stars, but then again I live out in the middle of a wheat field with no neighbors. We can see stars that I once saw when I was younger living in the city, Now days they don't see much and don't care. With all that is going on in world it would be nice if people would just sit back, take in the glory and beauty of our wonderful world and shut up for a minute. We are only here on earth for a short time, deal with it, Thanks again for sharing.
Oh, and happy Halloween. 😎
