I'm  in metro New York.
Why  ..... I'll bet that during those pitch black nights you even get
to see those tiny little twinkling lights up in the sky that I used to
see when I was a kid.      Ummmmm ..... what did we used to call
them? ....... ummmm  don't tell me now, I'll think of it in a
minute .... ummm  Well anyway ..... we only get to see the big one at
night now. You know ..... the big round brown one that comes out every
month.
