Friday check in: a letter to the editor, a luncheon, and a flimsy
from With Strings Attached
The great cicada confluence is upon us.
Every 221 years the 13-year and 17-year locust broods emerge at the same time. The 13-year brood is southern and gets into central Illinois. The 17-year brood is midwestern and gets -- here. "Here" meaning towns about 10 miles south of where we live. We haven't seen or heard them in the neighborhood.
My cicada story was published in the Chicago Tribune on Wednesday.
