Please don't feel sorry for us! I can picture those of you living it almost
like a horror movie! Say the birds or something similar. Bugs everywhere,
not my idea of COOL!

I live near Alan but a little more in the country. It's really starting
to get loud around here. I can't think when I'm outside! You can't hold
a conversation anymore either. There are dead cicadas all over. The pool
cover has a few hundred. I don't see any in the pond. Hum? I think the
fish might have eaten some. My 3' lizard and 4 chickens LOVE to eat them
and go bonkers when I bring some. I've noticed about 20% of them start to
come out of their shells and harden too quickly, dying half in and half
out. The ants are going to have a mega population explosion. It's really
a sight to behold so I feel sorry for those of you who will never
experience this!

The cicadas are emerging in my backyard. I was filling the bird
feeders
and noticed four without even looking for them. Their red eyes are
really
weird! Should be getting noisy by late this afternoon.

It's noisy here, and the clumsy things keep falling in the pond.
