Bugs

There are so very many insects here in South Carolina. I can barely step outside without getting the screaming heeby-jeebies.

Sounds of nature. Mmm. Cicadas, birds, Boeings, crickets, roller-coasters...


Everything is So Big. The appliances. The rooms. The spaces between things.

Everything is so Straight. The walls. The roads. The sense of decisive order.

Everything is so New. The houses. The cars. The silly young religions.


I'm here for a week. Then I return home to little, to wonky, to ancient.

When I was in SC last month, I was actually surprised by how the roads *curve so much* there. At least in Columbia. The roads in Seattle don't curve much, except up and over hills and at weird intersections. But yes, so many bugs, so much noise from bugs and frogs and wildlife, so much humidity, and the hard afternoon thunderstorms ... hadn't experienced that in awhile.
