We don’t get cicadas out here – just evening West Nile mosquitoes, daytime West Nile mosquitoes, deer ticks with diseases (like Lyme, babesiosis – which I had, and some unpronounceable 3rd kind) … and slugs. I’d pitch a tent in the lower 40 if I didn’t know about the slugs!
But I do. And they’re disgusting. And I have deep moral issues about killing them and the ways that have been devised to kill them. (I’ll only let Bear use a repellent.)
So I know they’re there and they come out at night. I don’t go outside at night very often. That, and light pollution, makes star-gazing impossible. (I run up to Lake Michigan every couple of years to get my star fix.)
The outside is rather nice here, when it’s not too humid. We get a nice ocean breeze most of the time. But we’re not water people, and I should no longer expose myself to sun because I have lupus, oh, and did I mention that it’s hurricane season and we’re living in a trailer??!
