Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Rockets were fired towards Jerusalem. Sounds like Iron Dome got them all but one. My parents and I are OK.

(I did not miss the air raid sirens, at all).

I'm sorry, Shir. I can't imagine the twist that must cause to your emotions when you hear the sirens.

I hope them folks are right about vaccines, because I just made an appt for my kid the day after her 12th birthday. She is getting a vaccine and a billion cicadas for a birthday to remember.

TWELVE?!?!?!

Well, when you put it like that, it does seem ridiculous.

My 11 year old great nephew is royally pissed because he wants a vaccine too.

As soon as emergency use is over, have them talk to the pediatrician about off-label use. It's worth a try if there is a decent reason for it to happen before the Fall, when the 2-11 year olds are likely to be approved.

He lives in a very remote area, but since his parents and all the adults he knows are vaxed he wants in on the action. He does have asthma, so his mother might discuss it with his doctor.

I just saw my first cicada husk. Yay?

It's turned chilly, so it might be a little while before they're out in force.

I was talking to someone from California and this will be his first cicada, um, experience. I wish him well.
