Cicadas

Driving across near the eastern terminus of I-70 (near where I live) the other day, my windshield was a battering ram for quite a few of those bastages.

I have woods about 4 or 5 houses from me, and there were a handful of dead ones on my porch this afternoon.

Not to mention, they're loud as all get out during the day right now. I can hear them in my office with the windows closed.

Yeah, we were out looking at a few houses today and can't walk 2 feet without bumping into them. They were landing on my friends arm and shoulder for some reason.

And yeah, I'm hard of hearing and I still hear them droning on, especially in the evenings before sundown.
