the bugs are gone. living in the suburbs of the midwest, once the summer heat died youd wanna go out and enjoy the nice evening, but if you didn’t have bug spray the mosquitoes would absolutely murder ya. so we would slap on the ‘off deep woods’ and light a citronella and enjoy the lightning bugs. so many, like stars all around, trying to hold a convo over the loud-ass crickets. guardin your can so a bug wouldn’t fly in. if you drank a soda, there’d always be some damn bee hasslin the mouth of the can
by the busy side of a highway, the buzzin and chattering of bugs was a cacophany of life. those gas station scrub stations (the ones that are always dry now) were absolutely vital as the windshield would get covered in bug guts. id stop by just for that often, even when i didn’t need gas.
now just 30 years later, i can have a beer or two in the evening, chill outside a couple hours and get bitten maybe once or twice.
it doesn’t matter so much how the stations buckets are dry, my own sprayer n wipers is enough. the lightning bugs are few. crickets are few. the sides of the road are silent.
