When I was a kid, I lived in a rural area of #Montana. Rural by Montana standards. As I've gotten older, I've moved to bigger and bigger cities. First #Bozeman, then #Reno, now #Phoenix. I can see less and less stars with each move. Right now, I'm "vacationing" in rural Arizona, and I'm taking my time looking at the stars. In the 80s, seeing a satellite was an event. It almost never happened. Now, they litter the sky. I don't like where this is going.

@mike@fosstodon.org I remember in the 1960s in camping in the San Bernardino Mountains. On clear night laying on my back amazed by the Milky Way and every once in a while seeing a white dot cross the sky. Guessin now if there is a clear sky its more like not seeing a sat crossing over constantly.
