Cicada update from our friend Spahr in DC: "On a separate note, the cicadas are taking over. I est. there has to
be hundreds (if not thousands) in my front yard alone...and more keep coming up from the ground every
day. It's freaky and kind of gross (lots of dead bugs and shells all over the place)...frankly, they are tough to miss walking down the street at the moment. When cars drive by, you hear crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch...". I'm happier every day to be in a cicada-free zone.
