Very O.T, but... the sun

I'm about 45 mins away from seeing 90%+ 'totality' (too lazy to drive an hour for full) and it seems like forever!

4.8 earthquake last week, eclipse 4/8, 4.8 cicada hatchings this summer. The world will end after the last cicada seeks shelter this fall.

And maybe they'll be better at taking care of this place.

Speaking of cicadas, searched for the old thread with cicada limericks from maybe 2004 but couldn't find them. Anyhow, If this double brood cicada extravaganza is anything at all
like 2004, our family will pay a few bills from selling t-shirts. Being a country girl in my youth, the cicadas don't freak me out much. Don't like them but not afraid. I doubt I would hear much of their noise this time around because it sounds so much like the tinnitus I've developed since last emergence. Since I'm now in southern California I won't have to prove my bravery. lol

I’m so happy that I’m not a bug

Waiting seventeen years for a hug

And the sex that comes after

It leads straight to disaster!

Not to mention shoes smooshing my mug

Let's stop worrying about the double brood hatch.
