Stars: a short post

I got to hang out with one of my best friends tonight. We've both been so busy that it was the first time we'd seen each other in about three weeks. We had a blast, and when we got back to her house, it was nearly 11p.m. The nice thing about where she lives, aside from being only a couple of miles form where I live, is that ambient light is almost non-existent, and there is a wonderful view of the heavens.

I love the stars, and it saddens me that I'm not as familiar with the summer constellations as I am with the winter star formations. I can point out Orion, Cassiopeia, Gemini, Cygnus... all without problem...

But during the summer, I can find the Big Dipper and that's about it. I think I need to do some work on that...
