Greensboro Lights

The lights in Greensboro are entirely disgusting. As I was driving home last night, the fog made this more apparent. Imagine a puke filled sky, hovering over your driving wheel. Wouldn't that make you feel charming? These orange lights can be seen from everywhere, there is no escaping them. When they mix with the white lights, and the navy sky, it just becomes this horrific mess. I've become use to the clear, starry nights of the country (One of the good things that comes from living out in the middle of nowhere).
When I was younger, I use to loath living out here. I thought it was backwards, reclusive, and entirely boring. My views have greatly changed since then, and I completely appreciate living out here. My parents have built up this miniature farm, so it is nice to walk a couple of feet and meet my goats and llamas. Being able to walk along rolling countryside is really fun, except when I have to get off into the knee high grass to let an angry motorist past. Alot of these people aren't backwards, they just enjoy pursuing a job where they use there hand, and don't sit behind a desk all day. It takes a different kind of intelligence to be able to run a successful farm, and to be able to grow, and maintain, miles of produce. Hopefully I'll see more of this when I'm abroad.
