To point this thread BACK into the right direction...
When I was in second grade, we used to see how much "air time" we could get by swinging as high as we could, then jumping out of the swing at the highest point. It was so much fun! Felt like we hung up there for minutes (when you are seven, time seems to stand still anyway). I was always amazed more kids just didn't beat the crap out of themselves doing that. The teachers watching us on recess didn't like it though. We always had a watch out guy- "Ok, Mrs. Willaims is looking the other way...jump!"
I didn't know, how much I miss swinging until know Rainy...thanks for giving me a little slice of my childhood back!
OH YEAH? Well, when I was little, we would swing super high and tough the tops of trees with out feet.
THEN, we would flip backward and hang upside down until we flipped out of the swing, during the upswing!
We were swinging CHAMPS.

But to see a firefly means it reminds me something I lost in the past time or imagine some hope in the future,so shimmery bug light is adequate for me.
