My only complaint with the sodium vapor lights is that it makes it very difficult to distinguish different colors at night. You had better remember where you park your car in Wal-Mart parking lot - at night, a green car looks just like a blue, red, grey or brown one!

Those of us living near the coast are lucky. During the last huge meteor shower, my girlfriend and I went to a nearby beach away from the cities - the sky that night was amazing! No lights over the Gulf, and few lights nearby. We saw several THOUSAND meteors in the course of 4 hours. I wonder how many the people in Atlanta got to see.

Just takes practice. For a few years I wore blue block shades which have the same wierd tinting effect. Now my eyes have been trained to tint filter and spot the green car even if the currently projected color is closer to mud. Only problem I've had with sodium lights is that in some municipalities they're the same color as the yellow traffic lights which can occassionally cause you to "lose" the traffic light (Alamagordo NM where my in-laws live is like that... luckily in a town the size of Alamo there's no reason to be out after dark anyway).

Thats true, I had a red metallic car that looked green under sodium vapor lights. The first time I parked at a certain restaurant, I almost called the police & reported it stolen before I realized it was sitting right where I parked it.
