Oooh - hadn't seen that page. I'm still used to the "old" FFF.net site, which is where my bookmarks take me. What's this "top 100" list of which you speak?

It's here: http://www.fireflyfans.net/topthreads.asp

Or here, on the beta: http://beta.fireflyfans.net/mboard.aspx

I spend most of my time on this site skimming through that list for what's being discussed the most, and what might be interesting.

I talk about Firefly a lot and still haven't run out of things to say about it, it is my very favorite show. It even comes up now and again here in RWED.

Riiight.
I wish the top 100 wouldn't include RWED or (probably more fair) would indicate at each topic where it had originally been classified.
I get into top 100 all the time. Bleh.
So here I go with a temporary naggy and arguably "political" sig.

Please remember that "in season" (later) our little fireflies need darkness so they can find each other for the purpose of propagating their species, and that humans as a species make an unhealthy amount of light. Turn ‘em off and snuggle up!

Bun - about fireflies (real ones)... We had them twice last year. I mean, we had them A LOT, but we had 'em in the spring, and then again in the fall. I don't recall ever seeing that happen before (rare enough to get fireflies in Texas at all, it seems like; nothing like the summers we used to have in Nebraska, where they'd be everywhere!).

Anyhoo, I haven't seen any this year, yet, but will keep an eye out for 'em. I rarely turn on the outside lights, so they're more than welcome in my area. :)

Bunny...I'm jealous as hell. I've never seen a firefly, we don't have them here, and I sure wish I could! They seem so neat...must be beautiful to behold.

I second it Niki, I've never seen real ones either, they don't live in OR. When my Rachie moved to IL she told me about the fireflies, said they were beautiful, I envy her for that, but not for the flat country and lack of ocean. I miss her a lot, closest thing to a sister I ever had or ever will, she's too busy to talk to me anymore but she knows that I'm right here whenever she's ready, I'll always be right here.

That is a fantastic idea. Someone should bring it up to Haken.

I really really wish we had fireflies here.

When I was a little brat in Central PA the FFs seemed to be the reason for the season. We were allowed to capture them but were required to release them before we came in to go to bed.

There weren't as many night-time lights in those days, so we could go out and lie on our backs in the yard while our parents picked out the constellations and told the stories which went along with them. There were more stars visible than most young people would believe today unless they've been outside during a major regional power failure.

Maybe one day we'll get back to that, but the 24/7 business day makes it unlikely.

I guess the moral of this post is that you should enjoy everything you have, and make good memories, 'cos you never know what's going to happen to it.

Google up "firefly range map" and you'll find more learning opportunities than you'll know what to do with, and even chances to participate in FF science.
