Yeah, we're down to cicada pee! But hey, not much different or weirder than some of the storm threads during winter!!!
-
"Who's scruffy-looking?" (Always was amused that Han Solo never denied being stuck-up, half-witted, or a nerf herder...only took offense at being called scruffy!)
-
Saw numerous shells around a large oak tree yesterday, but no signs yet of actual cicadas. Maybe they were preliminary scouts, sacrificed to the birds! Still awaiting the HECS (Historic East-coast Cicada Swarm)!!!

Interesting! I wonder how this applies to in-house dining then, I would take it that they won't have the restrictions on number of people eating in, though obviously you also wouldn't be using a mask while eating. I hope we get to at least 70% vaccinated soon, they seem a lot more widely available now. A part of me is a bit cautious, I admit, and hoping that Gov. Hogan isn't jumping the gun too quickly here. But cases have been going down, thankfully.

Judging by that smile, I'm guessing the Reaper closed big on the Panic Room after selling it off, and walked away with some serious cash!! (or maybe he raided the slot machines on the way out!!)
-
Are we in NAM range yet?? Nothing here that I've seen, other than some holes near several trees. I guess it's getting close now.

Short Pump cicada bullseye...book it!!

LOL!!! Too funny! Actually, I'm disappointed by the 1st Pfizer shot, I only got the chip that plays dull elevator music. What a rip! Others reported being able to receive better stations. Hopefully the 2nd one is much better!! Can't we get better science juice???
-
Same here, haven't seen any yet but have seen several holes near trees. Fringed!

Rain shaft from convection today...

Wow, for a moment earlier this morning I thought I had mistakenly entered some bizarre QAnon thread!
-
I hear you! Got my first one a couple of weeks ago and will get the 2nd (Pfizer) next weekend. I feel better about things, though obviously still cautious (for myself and others, of course). It does feel good to know I'll have both done before Memorial Day weekend! My daughter gets her 1st this weekend.
-
Nice!!! I take my daughter in for her first Pfizer shot tomorrow afternoon. Carefully working both doses around all the stuff she needs to do this month in case of any side-effects. I get my 2nd one next Saturday. So did your midichlorian count increase as well?? I guess that's better than having a secret chip injected!!
-
That's quite a lineup!! Looks tasty!
-
Hahaha!! Never thought it would be possible to get the "weenie" reaction for cicadas!!
-
Soundings show a good CGZ (cidadic growth zone) moving toward the surface in the coming week or so. We should be rippin 'cadas shortly after!!
-
Take care of yourself! I've heard that happens for both the 2nd Pfizer and Moderna shots, or at least it's highly variable (either little reaction or feeling out of it for a day). One time years ago, I felt awful soon after a tetanus shot (one of the TDP ones, can't recall which). But the next time I was due for another one, no real issue other than a sore arm.
-
OK, both of you younger geezers...get off my lawn!!
-
If you danced like Ron Paul in that gif, I guarantee you we'd all be laughing at you! Congrats on shot #2!!!
-
I love the expressions that cats give! Like they're putting up with us mere humans sometimes... Cat translation: Can't you see I have better things to do than get my picture taken!! Cat translation II: ...important stuff, like lying in this nice sunbeam!!

17 years of living under the ground, followed by 3 weeks of singing and mass fornication... Sounds like typical spring break time in Florida!!
-
Yeah, I kind of remember them starting relatively early here in the DC metro area, like early May in 2004. But I also recall that year was very warm in April/May so perhaps that's part of the reason. They also "ended" sooner, like not long after Memorial Day weekend, in early June. This year, I think it's been cooler leading into this month overall (i.e., more "normal"), so maybe that's been what's going on? I thought the normal time was mid-May to mid-June, there about.
-
Cool! My daughter is 17, and is eligible for the Pfizer shot (once I can get her in for one, looks like it's getting easier now). So far that has been the only one available down to age 16 I think.

Happy "May the Fourth be with you" Day!! (I'm sure @yoda will be celebrating!)
