Yes, it can be happy memories and thankfulness of what we were spared from...

I didn't realise that the sunlight-induced sneezing was fairly common and had a name.

As for sound, my husband has to have earplugs, not just for if/when I snore, but when some factory nearby starts up a night-hum that I can hardly hear....

What a lovely video! I have never seen fireflies in real life either. Amazing little creatures to produce light like that. Such complex systems could never have evolved gradually by chance, or the half-formed organs would have been a nuisance to...
