That seeing the tops of tall buildings vanish completely into an unbroken ceiling of clouds so low that it looks like you can reach up and touch them is an experience I think everyone should have.
we don't have any real mountains here either. I live on the memory of mountains and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Of driving down twisting and curving roads on the edges of nothing and looking down on the wings of a soaring eagle. And of overlooks where you stand on the edge of nothing and look out and at cloud shadows drifting across the distant mountains.
now I'm all nostalgic and poetic. That is not condusive to fangirling over Shep turning into a bug (well, not so much that as the arms and various moments of 'ship). meh. I miss the mountains so very much. *wistful sigh*
There's a Blue Ridge Parkway here in Kansas City. Sadly it runs through the 'hood and the only way you'll look down on an eagle there is if you're soaring on crack :(
