Orion is my favorite constellation. Driving to work through the star-swung cerulean of our early morning sky today, I looked up and saw Orion at ready stance above the center pivot alfalfa fields and later above Lake Helena. One of my quirks is that I have a favorite of every sort of thing. Orion is my favorite constellation. Eight is my favorite number. J is my favorite letter of the alphabet. Blue my favorite color. The Crazies are my favorite mountain range; I love how the peaks burst up from the floor of the plain. Huckleberries are my favorite of favorites. Here is the important thing: huckleberries never grow in an ugly place. And I know where the huckleberries grow.
