What were the skies like when you were young?

They went on forever and they, when I, we lived in Arizona and the skies always had little fluffy clouds in them and, eh.
They were long and clear and…
There were lots of stars at night, and, er, when it would rain it would all turn, it, they were beautiful.
The most beautiful skies, as a matter of fact
Uh, the sunsets were, purple and red and yellow and on fire. And the clouds would catch the colors everywhere
That's neat, 'cause I used to look at them all the time when I was little. You don't see that
