I am going to head out to the country and try to see it.

It is so eerie here. There is no darkness here.

This senior housing complex is lit up at night like a football stadium.
Sodium vapor lamps. Sometimes I go weeks without seeing the stars.

I love this bit from Camus

After this final outburst he is overcome by a total peace, "As if this great outburst of anger had purged all my ills, killed all my hopes, I looked up at the mass of signs and stars in the night sky and laid myself open for the first time to the benign indifference of the world."

Alright! I'll be there!
Still, love that Camus quote!
