THE LOCUS

Today I sat out on my deck but found it unbearable so I retreated to my house. You may think it was the 98 degree weather but the decibel level was the problem. The morning hours are cooler and provide a wonderful time to sit outside reading but with the Cicada population singing their mating song it is anything but peaceful.  I wondered how people who don’t have a quite house survive the noise. Now all I have to do is stay inside until the population dies which they will and then we will not have to worry about their return for 7 years.

  1. It is a tragic waste of early summer, in my opinion. Can't go anywhere (at least in St. Louis Co) without a cicada attack!
