You'd be mad not to wear shorts, it's so fricken hot out. We all do. The air-conditioning usually isn't too bad, but I normally bring a jacket to movie theatres and such. -- Dhvana, 09:47:04 07/09/04 Fri

As for Roswell, it was disappointingly normal. I mean, there were two blocks on Main Street dedicated to aliens, but the rest of the city was just a city. Still, those two blocks were fun--they had a window display competition going, and the old-fashioned streetlamps had black alien eyes painted on them. -- Dhvana, 09:44:46 07/09/04 Fri
It's the stars that are the most amazing. New Mexico is fairly empty and oh my god--at night, it is pitch black out and you can see billions of stars--including the Milky Way, satellites, and even shooting stars (saw one while I was out there!). My sister and I pulled off the side of the road with the sole purpose of looking at the stars--it's so dark though, it's creepy (you cannot see anything around you at all--someone could be walking right and front of you and you wouldn't know it), and then a coyote started howling and yipping and we got completely freaked out so we rushed back into the car, locked the doors and got the hell out of there. We're wusses, LOL, but it was beautiful anyway.

Stars? What are they? The pollution and street lighting make it near on impossible to see stars here. Even at home, its not like it used to be. Er not too sure about the darkness though, that would be way too scary for me -- vx, 10:07:50 07/09/04 Fri

Yeah, we don't get stars here, either. At least, not in central Texas. Maybe out west, where there are fewer towns. I was terrified of the dark when I was a kid--I was practically a teenager before I made myself learn to sleep without a nightlight, so being surrounded by all that darkness was more than a bit scary. I don't know that I could sleep in that--I've got a security floodlight outside my window, and the highway not far off, so it's never dark. I'd probably need some sort of light. -- Dhvana, 10:26:19 07/09/04 Fri

I'm the other way, light keeps me awake! I even have to cover up the digital numbers on the vcr in the bedroom and on the clock by the bed. I used to be a bit scared of the dark after a scary movie - if I had to go to the loo in the night, I'd drag the light cord as far as it would go towards the bedroom and then run light hell. -- vx, 10:29:56 07/09/04 Fri

LOL--scary movies tend to have that effect on people. I was like that for a while--having to dangle a sock over the light on my stereo's clock because it was too bright, but I've had to get used to a bit of light, so now I don't know what I'd do without it. -- Dhvana, 10:37:25 07/09/04 Fri
