When I was a kid walking home at night in the 50s, the only street lights
were gas and they didn't light much of the street let alone the sky. Any
clear night, I could see the Milky Way, which is something I haven't seen
for decades.

Drop in Graham, I can see it now. Though at -3.8 I won't be hanging around
too long.
