OK, so Trish calls me from the car today and sticks the phone out the window. Driving through Glen Ellyn today was the most unusual sound, apparently it was the 17 year awakening of Cicada Brood XIII. So loud it was deafening! I could plainly hear it through the cell phone, what a racket! Well, since I don’t recall ever seeing any of this back in 1990…”Trish I want you to bring one home for me!” I was joking, I didn’t think she would, after all she’s a girl! And girls don’t touch bugs. Well, I guess I was wrong because sitting on our kitchen island waiting for me was this red eyed little monster. I bet he was pissed, 17 years waiting in the ground and he finally can get some nookie only to be scooped up by someone and put in a plastic container.
