GAH!! LIGHT POLLUTION!!!!!

The coworker I took over for tonight told me he was going home and was going to drink some wine while he watched. He lives out in the sticks. Work is in area that has about 11 hotels, a bunch of big box stores .. and all that corresponding electric light.

If I go outside and look up, I will get a face full of snow. Think I will pass for now, thanks.
