I fired up a chainsaw one afternoon during the height of a cicada invasion, to cut the top off of a cedar post. Was almost choked and blinded by the damm things before I could get the cut made. They must have thought that little McCulloch chainsaw was the Raquel Welch of the cicada world.

As Marshall McCloud might say... (reply)

. . . to my childhood, before air-conditioning, when we'd sit out on the porch in the evening to (hopefully) cool down and listen to the cicada chorus. To me, and many folks my age, it's the sound of summer.

Think Kamikazi attack for those of you who haven't experienced it.

Not me.... (reply)

Last time I heard them, was in Virginia prior to 1981, when we moved to Colorado. They were so loud you could not sleep without earplugs. Haven't heard 'em since and have no desire to hear 'em ever again.

Almost makes me wish I was there (reply)

Almost...

Get out the Daisy Red Ryder boys, they are upon us.
