Local folks: What are mosquitoes looking like for you so far this year? I put our mosquito trap buckets out maybe 6 weeks ago. It's also been really dry. I killed a mosquito on myself today for the first time โ€” inside, oddly. Anyway, I don't really remember when the mosquitoes start up anymore. Have any of you noticed mosquitoes yet? Have you noticed a lot, a few, or is it just average so far? ๐ŸฆŸ #DurhamNC #RTP #mosquitoes

The INDY
ISTG, there's a helicopter hovering *right over* my house. The trees at a distance look still, but I can feel the downdraft, & branches in my yard are swaying around. It's noisy AF. I guess it's moving off now, but I can still hear it, so it can't be *too* far off. #DurhamNC #downtown #LittleFivePoints

Anyway Banjofriday also is #BandcampFriday and while banjoless, today the new album "Companion" by Sluice dropped. Perfect soundtrack for my train back from Gent to Cologne. I preordered it ages ago and was looking forward to the release today. Sluice is just such a fantastic band and sometimes in their back catalog you might find the sound of a banjo as well.
