I haven't seen the Milky Way in years , Van Dell.  When I go home to see the 
family (your part of the country) the roads are so dark, it is scary to drive 
at night.  I have a street light in my front yard , ehere.  I will have to 
slowlty adjust to the 'dark', when I move; but, it is something to which I do 
look forward........................
