I give up. The cicadas win. I suggest we surrender to their demands on the condition that they halt their psychological warfare immediately.

I cant tell the difference at times from my tinnitus vs cicadas

Preach.

Ewww. When are they due to clear out? I haven’t seen them on any trails on the Parkway.

I am already nervousing about encountering creatures and creeps when I have to take the puppy out multiple times in the night. We have a lot of ground hogs and wild cats in my condo complex.

I think they are peaking in this area about now. I think you will need to wait longer as they start emerging when the soil temperatures hit 64F a few inches below the soil. I imagine being at higher elevations where you are means that is going to be starting soon-ish?

I still shudder at the memory of vuvuzelas.

Worst. World Cup. EVER. For that one reason alone

I live close to a soundwall. The echo they make sounds like a bunch of UFO alarms.

Good thing for headphones

Well I got a break from the Cicadas today. Thunder is definitely louder.

My house was safe, up the road trailer got ripped in half and another house had it's roof removed.

Tornado went through Dallas, wife drove by a completely destroyed house with people bloody in the yard as the ambulance got there.

Nothing here in Dan Vegas but 30 minutes east in South Boston it almost feels like the ground is shaking they are so loud

To be clear: I expect ZERO sympathy here. But, as soon as my battered heart just begins to have a whisper of hope for my Knicks, Brunson gets some mysterious Leaf-like injury. Can't make this crap up lol.

This was a bad storm in Gtown and areas, from what I've heard a fatality is currently blocking our repairs. A car was crushed by a tree and it brought down the power lines and cables.

It's the constant nature that's driving me crazy. Just a background buzz throughout the day and you don't notice it until you start to get a headache.

Well they have waited X years they want to mate

There were also some spectacularly well-bribed referees.

as well as voters. The FIFA awarding process has always been corrupt but under Blatter it took things to another level entirely. 2014 wasn't as bad since neither Argentina nor Brazil (the two that actually have the infrastructure to host it) were going to play his stupid games. But 2010 was the most corrupt awarding of the tournament EVER (supposedly Morocco was the nation that actually won the vote)... until the 2018 and 2022 tournaments were awarded under Blatter.

Welp, last night solved one of my dilemmas. The queen has decreed the winter pool project be finished and open for business 6/1. Saturday will be a balls to wall work day here. Probably will be able to hear the rags cheer from here , so almost the same.

DC unfortunately under a solid wall of clouds. Apparently people are seeing them as far south as Florida!

 

[hblueridgegal]

Is it just me or have the clouds looked kinda wild lately and what's with all the wind? I was almost blown off I-40 coming home yesterday. Perfectly sunny out at the time, too.
