It's a shame. I thought that my new early morning commute from a metro area to rather a small town a half hour away would offer me a chance to enjoy the stars. Nope, there's maybe a 5-minute stretch where the metro lights fade a bit before the lights of the plant blind you again. I miss nowhere NM where I could head just a bit out of town and see the milky way. Even saw a green shooting star on the way to work one morning. During meteor showers, I'd see at least a couple every morning on the way to work. The green one just sticks out in my memory as an extra special memory.
