17-Year Locust are All Fucking Over This Year..

I once saw a bug that was the size of my fist....

I almost cried when it landed on me.

During May/June of '87 I was living in Maryland and experienced the 17 year Cicada swarm. You had to drive with lights and wipers on all the time because of the nasty goo they left on the windshield. It was like a constant rain.

I'm moving back to that area this summer so hopefully my kids will get to see the swarm of 2004.

I'm near Lake Erie, so we battle with Mayflies, or alson know as Fish Flies. They smell and cover the road causing accidents.

I wonder how the cicadas kill time during that 17 years in between. I bet they do a lot of reading. I know I would. Maybe even do the cross word puzzles in the Cicada Newspaper.

Or the Cicada Jumble?

Yes, I can totally see cicadas as being huge jumble fans.

Such beatuiful creatures, I must make them mine.

They would make cool pets. Get the orange kind. They're smaller, easier to house train and can be taught to hum the theme song to "Hogan's Heros."

Yep, they're all over the place by the Ohio River near Owensboro. Woods around the area were/are going crazy. It sounded like thousands of tree frogs in a small area at first. The noise is deafening. Pretty cool actually since I'm just used to the late summer variety. Those are a lot bigger and sound a little deeper.
