Stargazing with sister

You know, other cities could really learn from my city. Mesa, Arizona, one of the most populous cities in the US! Yet there’s no excess light pollution.

I know because I’m sitting here with my wonderful big sis and we’re looking up at the stars together. There’s not a whole lot of stars up in the sky, but they’re still visible! Like in cities like Los Angeles or NYC where there’s so much light, many long-term residents go their whole lives without ever once seeing the stars.

Sis and I were just talking about it. Thinking about how much we owe to our being able to stargaze as to how close we are. With so many memories we have of watching the stars together, we don’t know where we would be if we couldn’t see them. Not something I like to think about because I love being as inseparable as we are; and that we can still share an old pastime together after all these years.
