Feeling like I'm under attack!

   / Feeling like I'm under attack! #11  
The June bugs are starting to come out, and are really attracted to my light. For the last two nights I hear them bouncing off the screens, and have to be careful if I go outside, otherwise I'll be chasing them around the house.
Those little buggers are LOUD!!!
When I was in high school my dad, my brother, and I were in an orchard picking peaches. All of a sudden I saw my 265 pound dad running away from a tree like he was under attack. It turned out he'd disturbed some June bugs and thought they were angry bumble bees.

My grandparents had blacked-out shades on all their windows; I'm sure they still make them, but I don't think I've seen any as heavy since.
In the early sixties, I noticed that the gym/autitorium of our former high school had one black shade on one window. To this day, I don't know whether it had to do with showing films in there or was a precaution against an unlikely air raid left over from WW 2.
