    The only way that happens is when all lights in the city go out.

    Arlo obviously doesn’t live in Ohio. Even if the entire state had a power failure, we still wouldn’t be able to see the stars. Basically, we have cloud cover from early November to mid-March.

    Haven’t really seen the Milky Way since the early ’80s. Even then, only when a mass of clean arctic air makes its way this far south.

    Not 4 o’clock and it is dark! we would say here. And in the old land the 4 would be replaced by a 3. And so I think your fellow countrymen (and -women) in Alaska would say too.

    Leave out the last “with” and you pretty well nailed it.

    My first thought was that the lights in the neighbor’s second story bedroom window just came on. But, hey, that’s just me.

    I need a clear day. These gray skies are just as bad as snow.

    Light pollution doesn’t help either.

    My favorite Burma Shave series was

    Beneath this stone lies Tom O’Shay

    He died defending his right of way

    His right was clear

    His will was strong

    But he’s just as dead as if he’d been wrong.

    They obviously live in an area with very little light pollution.

    We finally had some clear weather this year, so I went out in the dark of the morning to seen the Persiads. The Milky Way was so bright, I had trouble seeing constellations in it.

    About as high as Arlo’s head what is that strip of olive green gong across the entire panel supposed to represent?

    Lightning bugs were common when I was growing up in the Chicago suburbs. We moved to western Colorado when I was 14 and I don’t recall seeing them since …and that includes all the places I’ve been during and after my military service. Now that I think on it, it is a shame. Proof that Zeus does have a sense of humor.
