Yes, another nice place, I'm sure.  I've never been between
Vancouver & Montreal but it is on my list of places to visit.  I
have been down-under and know it is just beautiful there.

As for Nevada, yes it is as you say, except where I live, the
casino lighting has washed out the sky so only the very brightest
stars and constellations are visible.  The Milky Way disappeared
about 20 years ago.  Now I have have to drive about 50 miles to get
a dark sky, something I don't do very often.

Anyway, I guess the topic drift here is a bit much (or should I
refer to wiring the universe?) so I'll pull the plug.
