Stay of Sluggo

So, the slugs have earned a reprieve. The Sluggo has arrived, but the past two evenings have been the definition of bad weather. While the hail and tornado watches haven't hit the slice of DC Metro I call home, the ferocious thunderstorms have. Not the sort of weather that one goes out to kill slugs in. No need to tempt the lightning gods. There have been enough house fires caused by lightning strikes in the past two days.

In other news, the lightning bugs are out. The weird thing is that I don't see them at twilight. Okay, so not much is out at twilight with these storms. But I'm seeing them when I get up for work at 4:30 in the morning. That is odd.
