Conspiracy theory of the day:  Taylor Swift is actually a clone of Zeena Schreck, daughter of Anton Szandor LaVey, founder of The San Francisco based Church Of Satan.  Coincidence?

Cicadas are emerging — and they’re so loud, some called the sheriff

By Anumita Kaur - The Washington Post

 

Merry Turner thought the noise she heard Tuesday from her home in Newberry County, S.C., was from construction — the low, deep rumble of machinery toiling nearby.

Meanwhile, Lee Foster, the county sheriff, thought it was from yardwork — maybe a neighbor attacking weeds bright and early.  The sound didn’t stop. It grew louder.

 

It climbed to a crescendo Tuesday — an unceasing alarm reverberating through the county. Soon, residents began calling the sheriff’s office and flagging down deputies.

They needed to know: What was that noise?

 

It was the rise and mating call of the cicadas, Foster and his deputies told them.

 

The winged insects that spend most of their lives underground are emerging across the country in the spring or summer to molt into their adult forms, which lead to those infamously loud courtship calls. Their brief lives are spent mating — in a manner so noisy that at least a dozen Newberry County residents called the sheriff’s office in alarm this week.

 

The cicadas’ din in the South Carolina county is a snapshot of what a swath of the U.S. will experience over several weeks this spring and summer, as billions of cicadas, from two different broods, are emerging at the same time — the first time this has happened since 1803, The Washington Post reported. The cicadas in South Carolina are of the Brood XIX variety, which emerge every 13 years across the Midwest and Southeast.

 

I called the sheriff
Cause I don't know bug biology
I called the sheriff
Cause I don't know bug biology

 

All around in my home town
They're swarming to bring me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For not learning bug biology
For my hate of bug biology
But I say....

 

:biggrin:

While removing several very old wooden fence posts today, I discovered that my sledgehammer is much smarter than my big metal pry par. 

 

Instead of prying the posts out of the ground, my sledgehammer knocked them out of the ground.....in seconds!  :laugh:

Despite the rain, thunder, and lightning, people have been "camping out" in the Fort Lauderdale beach area since 4 this morning waiting for the 11AM start of the Panthers victory parade.  Of course all 3 major TV outlets are covering this

GO CATS!

In response to Steve Bannon being worried that he might be in prison with hardened criminals someone Tweeted "You should have thought about that before you started criming". People just making up words out here.

Spent the last two days on a paint job doing prep work like scraping and brushing worn siding, crawling under eaves, humping ladders.  I had to laugh at how glad I was that it wasn't my full time job.
