I live in a small townhouse complex in the middle of nowhere. It is close to my work. Sometimes it bothers me because there are no street lights at all in my little neighborhood or on the base where I work. I have learned to navigate by the light of the stars and the moon. I know now when the moon is full and when it isn't.

Visiting the future in-laws this weekend, I learned they live in a similar situation - a small townhouse complex in a town outside a big city. They have streetlights everywhere.

I missed the stars.
