Re: The Big Sky question

Both Vickie and Jeff Burka mentioned enjoying looking at the sky, and I'm
glad to see it.  I have enjoyed it as long as I can remember, enough to make
it my profession (research meteorologist).  I can stand at my front room
window or out in a field for a long time just enjoying the sky colors, 
clouds, weather, etc.  The sky is also one of the prime attractions while
hiking and backpacking.  An organization has even been created (For Spacious
Skies) to promote looking at the sky for students, both for its aesthetics
(sp?) and as a lead-in for learning.  As for KaTe's music, I've also loved
_The Big Sky_ just for that reason.  Heck, when was the last time you looked
up and said, "That cloud looks like Noah!  Build me an ark!"  The act and
the song are tons of fun!!  You can also toss in _Cloudbusting_ as a KaTe
song with strong meteorological (if pseudo-scientific) interest.

Keep looking up!
