Then I moved to Iowa where there were clear bue skies by day and sparkling, starry skies at night. Around Nashville, we're somewhere between those extremes, but tend more to the clear skies with stars at night. But I've never had to say "Shit. Stars."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30396930.post-1164304987994717402006-11-23T09:03:00.000-09:002006-11-23T09:03:00.000-09:00I remember last year, we had a LOT of rain (I thin...I remember last year, we had a LOT of rain (I think we had more rainy days than Seattle for a few months there...)
