I went through 2 of the cycles of the big boys when I lived on the east coast. It was impressive.
Hi neighbor, I went to Hinsdale High.
That was really a long timre ago. Live in Spokane now.
We got the cicadas, all right. They started coming up in my neighborhood a week ago, and it seems that when May became June, they got several decibels louder. In Kentucky, we are calling Brood XIV the “Bourbon Brood.” Fortunately I’m not bothered, because I used to live in Florida. There cicadas don’t live underground for 13 or 17 years; they come up every summer.
Why does the press try to make every periodic, predictable event sound apocalyptic? In the UK, 25°C (77°F) is seen as sweltering heat.
