Timelies all!
Oh, goody, cicadas again.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I have some extremely traumatic memories of Brood X from 1986
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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I love cicadas.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
That map doesn't even include my end of the country. Which explains why, when we got a couple of them a couple years ago, I didn't have a clue WTF was making that NOISE.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't think I've ever experienced cicadas? I'm probably imagining them entirely wrong

The sound of cicadas is the sound of a hot New England summer for me. I was probably well into my teens before I realized what the sound actually was: I think I thought it had to do with the powerlines.
No cicadas here, which I don't mind, but I do miss fireflies.
I am blowing off going biking with my sister and considering going to BevMo...
