Stop over cooking your meat! It isn’t gamey, it’s over cooked!

Lightening bug here.

When I worked in TN, there was an area we had that had synchronized lightening bugs; pretty BA.

Pretty amazing really. Nearly 100% pure light energy. No energy wasted on heat.

I mostly call them lightning bugs, but occasionally use fireflies. When I was a kid, some of the comic books used to have ads where they would pay 2 cents a firefly for research.

Grew up in NY where they were fireflies.

Moved to IL where they were lightening bugs.

Moved to MS where they are lightin bugs.
