Oh joy. they're coming. They're 17, hang out in large numbers, are really noisy and don't think of anything but sex.
But she was naked! And all... articulate!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Cicada map, if you want to know exactly when/where:
(I have some extremely traumatic memories of Brood X from 1986 but fortunately it looks like I'm far enough north now to avoid the swarms.)

It amuses me that when you go to the chart, the cursor changes into a sorta-cicada-bug.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I waited too long to eat lunch and hit that zone where cooking, going out and getting something delivered were all intolerable so: Triscuits, Diet Coke and Hershey's Kisses. Very brand name!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Oh, goody, cicadas again.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Goddamn Brood X. I remember it all too well. t edit Which means we get them this year, too. Bah.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
that webpage says we had them in 2015 in TX, but I think we had some last year also. I DO NOT WANT THEM THIS YEAR. BOOI BOO!
I will take notice though now of burrow holes. Maybe boiling water down them. I'll try to remember that I should wrap my tree and larger bush trunks also. ugh

There are smaller broods on different schedules, but the main event is the big hatch this 17th year.
The need to cut a small board in half has sent me down a black hole of googling different types of saws. If I'm not careful I could end up with a home workshop. sigh

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Nashville's next big cicada year will be 2027, unless they come early. I remember because our brood last emerged in 2010, soon after the flood.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You can never have too many saws.

You say this as though it's a bad thing.
