Re: What's your favorite thing about the US?
Last night as the husband & I took a walk near dusk, I saw one of my favourite things about being here: Fireflies!
AKA lightning bugs.
Love to see them!

Yep I love Fireflies too. In fact I think the wildlife is probably my favourite things about the US. Lots of critters that I've only seen before on National Geographic type programmes. It like being a little kid all over again for me.

Folks were talking about this over on the deer-tick thread.

I like a lot of things in the USA, but the thing I like the most is the diversity in general.
Diversity of people, climates, foods, cultures, ... seems like everyone could find his place in this huge country.

Same for just about anywhere of a comparable size.

I love the way a young mum & her little daughter just walked out in front of my car as I was driving out of the parking lot - they were so amazed that somebody else was using the road!
Bless!
Next time I just might not be so quick to bang on the anchors...
