Why You Should Sleep Until Noon During Black Fly Season
Black flies — there really is only one solution to them: don’t be hanging out until they are gone for the night. That means waiting for darkness to come over the land. Then the party can get started.
Black flies aren’t out all night. So that’s the best time to up and own doing things. Like cooking dinner, drinking beer, and hanging out by the campfire. There is nothing wrong with staying up all night during black fly season, because the days really aren’t that wonderful, if you don’t like getting eaten alive.
Granted, in the darkness, you are somewhat restricted in what you can do. But bring a flashlight, and hell, maybe a bunch of Christmas lights, party lights, and big bright 100-watt equivalent florescent lights, and pretend it’s day light. It’s also cooler, and generally much nicer in then in the day time.
During black fly season, the whole purpose of the day is to be sleeping, and recovering from the hang overs of the previous night.

NERC sounds alarm on solar tripping in ‘sobering’ summer reliability report | Utility Dive
"The central and Western United States will face elevated reliability risks this summer, as extreme temperatures, drought conditions and higher peak demands challenge grid operators, according to analysis published Wednesday by the North American Electric Reliability Corp.
Among those regions, the Midcontinent Independent System Operator is at highest risk and could face a resource shortfall during normal operating conditions, NERC officials said. Peak demand in the region is expected to be 1.7% higher this year than last, while resource commitments declined in the operator’s most recent planning auction.
Grid operators may also struggle with cybersecurity threats, supply chain issues and the potential for disruptive wildfires, according to NERC officials. But the biggest long-term risk may be the unexpected tripping of solar resources during grid disturbances, for which NERC is currently developing new rules, they said."
