OK how’s about someone splain something to me. I have lived in Piedmont North Carolina all my life. A southern boy and the Son of a Tobacco Farmer and a Tobacco farmer’s wife. So I guess that makes me Southern X2.
Now for at least 62 years (can’t really remember the first couple years very well, 64 now) there has been every Summer Cicadas. In the summer at night the hotter and drier it got the louder the serenade got.
It would appear to me that for several years now there has been a springtime alert that the 17-year Cicadas were about to emerge.
Now just splain to me how did that happen? This 17-year deal that happens every year where I live and has happened every year for a long time.
Only thing I can figure is the 17 year variety sneaks in with the yearly variety and there you have it. Never noticed any of them looking different but maybe the language is different.
I kind of like the noise myself at night, I do understand the saying “so loud it is deafening” that is the only thing I can hear, at least that is what I tell my wife.
My wife says I have too much time on my hands also.
