Have you ever slept under the stars?




ryan


What I mean by this is not in a tent or a camper I mean just sleeping on the ground outside (or on a cot or mat) and if you did tell why you did sleep under the stars


Answer
Loads of times. Lucky life though. Got a military posting to Singapore and on free days we went out to the islands sometimes for a BBQ (had my own boat, built locally in Beach Road for a very cheap price) and just slept out on the beach at night.
On mountain hikes in good weather I sometimes use a bivvy bag instead of a tent and then I can gaze at the stars.
My Sinbad sleeping bag is Arctic rated so even on the Alps at 12 000 feet I've slept out on snow with just a tarp under it or tucked into the bivvy bag and seen the brilliant Alpine skies with no street lights at all to spoil the view and the thin mountain air being all nice and stargazer-friendly.
Totally black background with bright sharp stars and a Milky Way that stands out like you just can't see anywhere close to a city or even in the valleys away from cities.
Astronomy is my big hobby. Go to bed with binos and a coffee even in the garden on the few nights a year we get it good.
I live on a cold wet island and it's often cloudy but the only town is ten miles away and small, not some big city like a lot of folks have.
Haha, that's livin' easy, sleeping bag in the garden....backyard in the USA.
Don't even have to get up to put the coffee pot on. Just lift an arm out of the bag and get the stove going.
If you stand with binos looking high in the sky you soon get a sore neck but laying down it's easy and you can rest your elbows on the ground so your arms last longer too.
It's the best way to watch meteor showers too and get a whole sky look all at once without turning around or getting a strained neck.
Probably had well over 200 nights under the stars...but I've been out camping for a lot of years now and that good posting to Singapore built up a load of nights for the list.
Binos and the sky...not the best season for it now but come the autumn (fall) it gets very good for binocular astronomy.

Here's a song from Yorkshire in the north of England. Young girl called Kate Rusby.
She's older now and her face has changed, still sings well and still writes songs.

Enjoy the life. It's a good 'un.

a couple questions about lost?

Q. where can i watch the first season of lost online? i've seen the first 8 episodes, and im hooked.

and also: a technical question: in the episode "white rabbit" we see the flashback with jack arguing with a woman at the airport in singapore (i think) about his father's coffin. why was he in singapore? his father died in syndey, and the plane that everyone was on was going from los angeles to sydney right? maybe i missed something lol


Answer
WOW, you sound like me two months ago! I watched "Walkabout" one night, and then WAS HOOKED, I rented all of the episodes and watched them every night, but if you want to watch them online go to www.abc.com, and click on watch full length episodes, and they have all the episodes of LOST, even the season 4 ones.


Jack was in Singapore too though! Heres a clip about it:

Following the collapse of his marriage, Jack took a trip to Thailand to relax. While there, he met a mysterious woman named Achara. They became friends and occasionally slept together. Jack tried to find out what she did for a living, but she was very secretive about her work. Jack followed her one night. When he confronted her, Achara told him she saw into people and translated what she saw into tattoos. Jack grew strangely forceful and demanded to know what she saw in him. Achara became very emotional and told Jack she saw him as a leader who, although strong, could also be unhappy. Jack insisted she tattoo him. Achara warned there would be consequences, but gave in. The tattoo that Achara designed on Jack's arm translates to "He walks among us, but is not one of us." The next day, when Jack emerged from his tent on the beach, the people he had befriended earlier attacked him violently. They screamed at him, telling him to leave and never return. As Jack struggled to get up he saw Achara watching sadly from a short distance away. <--- thats what happened in singapore


In "White Rabbit", he wasnt in Singapore! lol. He was in Sydney, Australia because his dad had went there, and died, he was bringing back the body. That was when the plane crashed, in one of the episodes on the island you see him bury his father, but this isnt the last time youll see jacks dad... :D The plane crashed from Sydney to L.A.

www.lostpedia.com, this wesite will explain episodes and characters but i wouldnt go to it yet, it will spoil the rest of the episodes for you! When you are all caught up you can go there!

If you ever get confused about LOST, i go around answering LOST questions like crazy, so ill help you ! :D
