Taxid, this one cicada is a harbinger, an advance scout, the drop of water seeping through the crack before the dam bursts.
This is a sign from God! He is sending these very scary insects at Nashville because of the Gay Bill! Notice that only Davidson County is forecasted to be hit, with East Nashville the epicenter! You Godless libtards are in for it! I'm glad I live in Woodbury!
So my 2,000-word interview with Yael Dayan, Moshe Dayan's daughter, about the future of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, still has no comments, and my photo of a dead cicada already has five. I think I know where to focus my energies now.
It's almost as if people would pay attention to an article titled "TITTIES!" over an article titled "FEMINISM IN DARFUR!"
Pete, where do you live? They may have taken a while to make the hipster migration to East Nashville.
I'm in 12South, and there has been a carpet of them on my back deck for two days, but oddly, none on my front porch. The birds and squirrels that normally make short work of the wild bird seed/fruit/nut mix I put on the deck rail are strangely absent. Even they don't like the red-eyed monsters.
I live in Sylvan Park. The cicadas rise bright and early here, unlike those slackers in East Nashville.
The undersides of the leaves on my trees and bushes are so thick with exoskeletons they look like the battlefield at Shiloh. @Jack, re: Moshe Dyan's daughter vs cicadas--and now you know the secret of Bites success--light, sweet and populist.
