This is a simple one. I love being able to see the stars when I'm walking into my apartment at night. During law school I've had some late nights, and since I normally studied up at the school it would often be late when I'd get home. It was really nice to look up and see a dark sky filled with stars. Orion, the dippers, Polaris, and other constellations I can vaguely make out - right there, surrounded by stars.
Everywhere else I've lived - Dallas, Utah, Argentina, Iraq - were all so lit up that while you might see some stars, you couldn't really see the stars. Too much light pollution.
Not in Lubbock. They stand out, and its relaxing, and I'll miss it.
