The stars in Cisco, forty-five minutes away from the nearest town whose electrical grid consists of more than a couple extension cords, were unbelievable. I think the stars are something you have to take for granted and then totally lose access to in order to appreciate. I grew up in a town of six thousand or so people. I didn't even realise it was possible to not see stars at night until I moved to New York City.
