  Funny, 

 Here we're in the Endless Mountains, and I had some friends go out west and if there was any real issue it was the never ending sky. 
 We grow up here in a landscape of valleys, south of the finger lakes. The friend I'm thinking of remarked this feeling like there was no where to hide, being exposed all the time. He said the sky was too big and it was suffocating. 
 Here you've always got a hill in view. They say "Ithaca is Gorges" on the bumper stickers... They also say it's 10 square miles surrounded by reality!

  I'm sure it's the later, but maybe there is something to life in the open we mountain williams need to learn about...
