...And it's really wide, too.

By what process did Montana receive the name "Big Sky State"? I only ask because I can't imagine anywhere in the world having a bigger sky than western Nebraska. Montana is a beautiful place, but much of its sky is obscured by mountains. If you want to see stars without using a telescope, or spot the approach of a change in weather just by gazing toward the horizon, the choice has got to be Nebraska.

And I always thought the bug was a chick magnet until someone I know went across "Big Blue"(Lake Michigan) in a yacht-now that's chick magnet...girls in bikinis left their boyfriends to spend a day or two with these guys. Amazing...Nebraska sky, 42 foot yachts...wonders of the world!
