    I love going out in the summer under the stars and drinking. Good times. Good times. Oh, and sometimes there's a telescope involved too.

    @Mister_Bump: I was just about to post about that! Ended up getting lost at night out by Hokatika, jumped out of the car to walk it off, and was absolutely stunned by the sky. Insane.


    Never quite took a clear night for granted again, and the night sky's one of the first things I think about when I ponder moving back to NZ.

    Yup, My hunting lease is about 60 miles north of Abilene Texas(about halfway between Dallas and Lubbock) is in the middle of nowhere. the night sky is just filled with so many stars its unbelievable. You can even see the milky bands from the arms of the milky way. It's an experience watching those stars while hearing the coyotes howling.

    @Daveinva: Calm down, take a deep breath and repeat: "That movie NEVER happened. That movie NEVER happened. There was no fan dance. That movie NEVER happened..."

    Breathe. Breathe. It will be all okay.
