Chipper says she has Gezillions of fireflies at Red Deer Lodge. Or is it Bazillions? Enquiring minds want to know. First no blackflies, now tons fireflies. Oh, and she’s 95% full for July and August. It’s shaping up to be a decent year.
I keep meaning to mention that I have the two WORST EARWORMS evar. An earworm, for those of you who may not know the technical name for this hideous disorder, is a song you CANNOT get out of your head. One is Mika’s Grace Kelly, and the other is Champion’s No Heaven. The two are seesawing through my mind like a toddler on meth.
Awsome news from Chipper. Bad year for black flies, good year for the fireflies — equals good year for campers!! I wonder if this good news also applies to the interior of Algonguin?
I am told I had an earworm for the last couple of days, probably derived from having Channel 422 (elevator music) on 24/7 in the sun room. But neither of us can name the tune I have been whistling, and now the earworm seems to have departed.
Children visiting Red Deer Lodge will have magical experiences with the fireflies. My magical experience there involved a canoe trip to the waterfall, in the long northern twilight, with utterly still water and reflections that were other-wordly. I can see them still. And loons calling. Of course.
Ha. I remember when you’d start whistling “Santa Lucia” and the spiders would start dropping from the ceiling and fleeing.
Okay, that never happened, but I can measure the fraction of a tone by which you’d slide off key by the third bar……
