Re #51:

The truth is I have no idea. I did an image search for “Idaho Night Sky” and that was one of the results. But I can’t swear that it’s Idaho.

Those are spatter cones at the Craters of the Moon Nat'l Monument in Idaho, about 100 miles from Stanley. Breathtaking views like that are exactly what Idaho is trying to preserve by designating the area around Stanley as a dark sky reserve.

But some people think it's a big waste of time. After all, who needs to see the stars? Who even needs to know they exist? I mean, really, what good are astronomers anyway? They ought to get a real job, like fixin' cars! Yeah! You know they just sleep all night in those big cushy observatories, doncha, while drawing their big salaries? And apart from all that sleeping, who knows what else is going on all night long up there? I bet it's something real gay, if ya catch my drift.
