you know the words to the song:

'the stars at night..
are big and bright...
(clap, clap, clap, clap)
deep in the heart of Texas....'


;-))

my first choice would be somewhere in Oregon..
far enough inland to avoid the fog.

other than that, ray, i'd say 'go east young man, go east'.

all the way to Turkey! we have the clearest skies,
especially in August!
