We have tons of fireflies in our sort-of-native vegetation back yard in Baltimore. But I grew up in Florida, and I vividly recall how thick the "love bugs" were on my windshield in the 70s and 80s. None of that nowadays. Sad.

Summer Goes Out With a Heat Dome - NASA Science

If you know me, you know I love NASA. I'm glad that this can be posted at all. I'm sad that they can't say "climate change" science.nasa.gov/earth/earth-...

I was a kid who had to beg my parents to stay up late to watch the show, and I could never have dreamed that I would one day receive Nasa‘s distinguish public service medal, among my idols Gene Roddenberry and Nichelle Nichols
