Bad Meat?

I just cooked myself a hamburger for lunch and I’m a bit concerned about the meat being bad. It had been refridgerated since Saturday (it’s Wednesday) and smelled a bit…iffy.

There were actually two of them, and they were large! Neither of us had seen these before in the wild, so it was quite a sight!

And later that evening, in a sequel-of-sorts to my last entry, our backyard trees were full of lightning bugs 🙂
