This summer, coming to an Indiana near you, Billions of Cicada's
Welcome Brood X.

If nothing else, it will make the summer memorable...

It will also allow me to practice my Dao of grabbing cicadas with a stick, with the Chuang Tzu as my guide. ;)

Did I ever tell you about the time when I was in Greece and attacked by a swarm of cicadas?

No?

Well, once I was in Greece, at this nearly abandoned park/archiological site, and I got swarmed by cicadas.

Not much more to it than that. Didn't really do anything bad to me.

What's the house policy on mass insectocide? Is it wrong? This means we're going to have to have out barbeque ASAP. Or we can arm all our guests with cicada killing weapons. Death. Joy. *evil grin*
(Damn, I need sleep)

Jenny doesn't even let you kill the evil ones. In the meantime, she isn't always looking...

However, cicadas aren't evil. Just annoying.

. . . unless they start to devour my garden, in which case they become EVIL, and must be destroyed. and no insecticide, 'cause it'll make my garden non-organic.

but we might have a garden decorated in purple tulle if it comes to that. and mike can sit outside and practice his cicada-catching fu.

So if they eat your garden, they are EVIL, but if they carry icky diseases that might do bad things to your health, they are to be set free?

Sorry, that was more like insecticide like homicide. *Grin*

Where's that plague of frogs when you need it?

I'm thinking something along the lines of a cook out and these flat plastic paddles the kids have for toys. One side if flay, the other side has got suckers on it to catch these little rubber balls...

Anyway. I think we should have a cookout and folks can take turns seeing how many cicada homeruns they can hit! Whattya think???

As much as it makes me sad to leave you all this summer...I just want to say that California has no bugs, so HA!!! hehe, I'm really not that mean. By the way, what is a Cicada? (serious question here)
If it gets really bad, I vote that you all take a road trip and come visit me!!! I'll buy you Mexican food, Sushi, and we'll go to Disneyland!!! Weee
