How timely! The 17 year cicadas are just a few days short of emerging -- We'll have to lay in a big supply - mondo protein! Nice and crispy, too!



"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I lived in Maryland (DC/Baltimore area) in 2004 or 2003 (I think) when the cicadas came there. It was apocalyptic at times. I had to stand on a white roof at the Anna Rundle Mills Mall checking a roof leak in the midst of what seemed like a storm of cicadas. I thought I was in a sci-fi movie. They were in my hair, down my shirt. I finally had enough and gave into my inner wuss. Got on the radio and called it off.

BTW - Dogs love cicadas. It's like ice cream raining from the heavens. No harm until they eat 10 pounds of them. I have pictures of dog puke with bug parts and some bugs still with moving legs.

Have fun!
