How are you?

Doing okay, Vision. How about you?

Hi Gina, the cicadas are out now, the noise is impressive, this will be annoying for the next 6 weeks.

[WXRGina]

Ah, the sounds of summer! :-)

[Vision]

Of once every 17 years, thankfully.

Growing up, I used to associate the sound of locusts (I guess similar to cicadas, I don’t know) with summer. It was yearly, though.
