Paulides should have asked us in the first place before writing all those books

Hey, when in doubt, Bigfoot out. Hell, even Bo Bo knows that.

Now I'm worried all that mustard I eat is just tenderizing me.

Ha!  The Lyrids are out!  Awesome!

So jealous. Too much light pollution here.

“Nah.  I don’t want to talk to a living witness. Need plausible deniability “

Weird thing about that case is Whiteface is due east of Lake Placid. There is an interstate that runs north to Montreal and South to Albany, but you have to go that far 70 miles to Montreal and 150 to Albany to get to an interstate that heads west. Not like he could have just hitchhiked away from Whiteface.

I live in rural Nebraska in a tiny village.  Great skies.  Yes, I am fortunate.

... a Big Foot!

... a Big Foot!

And a Big ‘Roo

I'm going with Big Kangaroos.  Sounds most likely.

For awhile I lived in a pretty remote Pac. NW valley.  I'd never seen actual dark skies like that, where the Milky Way just jumps out at you, it's so obvious.  Invested in a decent telescope and spent many joyous evenings learning the night sky.  First time I saw Andromeda (and it's two satellite galaxies), that really put things on context.

Lots of kangaroos in our national parks

Cool.  I've never known a squirrel into astronomy.

I grew up in LA then moved to San Diego. Serious light pollution. My first night in my Mexico house, went out on the front porch, looked up and saw the Milky Way. Great stargazing

The Milky Way shines above my home like a rainbow all sumner.  My backyard is dark and gives me great viewing of the night sky.  My own little heaven.  Rural Nebraska has great dark skies.

Nice. I live in Myrtle Beach, which is kind of like Las Vegas for poor people, so there`s lots of light.

Sounds beautiful.

I recall once being in a far away desert with out a spec of light anywhere and thinking the night sky is the most beautiful thing I`ve ever seen.

Maybe a thunderbird even

[ItsOver]

No mutilated bodies.  That's a relief.  Sorry, Linda.

Feed 'em some scotch and they might open up to you about it.

It's spectacular.  I love the desert sky.  It's like you're personally suspended in space.

Ha!!!!  I thought a beer would do.

Absolutely!  Wish I could live in the desert.

Throw in some nachos and you're probably good.

I guess I need to up my game in the local park.

Can't be urban Mexico, then.  Baja?

While we're sharing: the darkest skies I've encountered are at sea (tho not optimal for telescope tripod stability!) and the Pacific-facing (Western) shores of the uninhabited Channel Islands.
