Any plans for coming back
or are you fully integrated now?

We have fish here as well.

Fully integrated.
Made a life here, there's nothing for me in the UK. Well, my brother is there and my long lost newly found dad and half brothers, but nah. I'll stay here. It's sunny most of the time.

Its rainy here most of the time
but weather isn't everything.

True that.
But there again, you can't beat being 5 mins from the beach or 90 mins from the mountains! ;)

Tell that to someone in Ohio
It is all a matter of scale and expectation.

I'm 5 minutes from a Beech Tree that I sit under and contemplate the world, It grows on the banks of a 2000 year old settlement overlooking the countryside. It doesn't matter that I'm only a couple of hundred feet up, or that there are no waves crashing nearby.

Still I've travelled a tiny bit in the states, and it am damn bootiful too.

Right, either you're on about telescopes
or you've flipped your fucking lid...

Telescopes yes.
Lid flipped years ago.

Sirius
The dog star, being always low in the British sky seems to twinkle because of the starlight travelling through the atmosphere and getting churned up.

No star can quickly change colour, which is a direct result of surface temperature. All stars change colour over long time spans as they develop and eventually die.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Fri 5 Feb 2010, 9:06, Reply)

Yes it's twinkling
and it's kind of going redblueyellowbluewhite
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 5 Feb 2010, 9:07, Reply)

If it was higher up
It would be white and not twinkle
