I sat on the deck after sunset. 50 to 60 fireflies were flashing above the clover and beneath the spruces.

Ever since I was 5 years old, I have enjoyed the display of these insects.

Now that I have reached riper years, I like to put on music (tonight it was Perez Prado's band playing Mambo). I could watch the moving fireflies for hours.

I am sure other people were watching the news... Each to their own.
