Some Very Fresh Air
 
    You always have a feeling of ease when you return to the place you were born.  Everything seems just right, in a perfect harmony.  It as if no harm may come of you.

    I was born in a small town call Coalville, Utah.  I have lived in twenty-five different places since i was born.  Twenty-four of those places were in the great Rocky Mountains, a place that is mostly peaceful.  I want nothing more than to return there.
 
    We moved to Sioux Falls when i was in the secind grande.  I have hated it here since the day I layed wyws on the grass plains that  stretch on forever.

    Another thing that I really hate about South Dakota is the night sky.  When I was little I can remember my dad waking me up to come out and look at the sky.

    The whole sky was lit up with stars, it was amazing.  I have never seen that many stars ever again, except for once.

    That was the summer before my sophomore year in high school.  We went on a family vacation and where we went made me the happiest I had been in along time.  That night the sky put on a show to welcome me back to the area I was born in, the place that I hold dearest to me, the place I love.

    The northern lights were there, and there was a metaor shower going on which was causing falling stars.

    I just sat there in the front seat of my mothers Mercury Cougar and smiled to myself, thinking that when I grow up I want to move back th Wyoming, so I can share the night sky, a thing I love with the people I love.

    Another thing about living so close to the wilderness were the animals I remember one day with my mom and dad we were going home from some place and when we got on our block there were Buffalo in the neighbors yard.  These were not the plastic ones, but real honest-to-goodness hairy, living, breathing buffalo just standing there in their lawn not planning on going anywhere soon.  It was kind of funny because the neighbors could not get out of there driveway because of them hairy beasts.

    I will return to the place that I love and I will return very soon.  I'm homesick.
