Message: [QUOTE="huskyd, post: 3993268, member: 6488"] The quiet we hear is the departure of the cicadas. The bodies of the fallen litter our sidewalks, and my dog will stay muzzled until the bugs are consumed by the birds and others. Can't say I love the invaders, but I do pity any group whose claim to fame is as "sustainable protein." It occurs to me that these are probably my last cicadas. Have you noticed that at some point the life we have been living is accumulating a growing list of "lasts"? I doubt that I'll buy another car, hold another job, wear anything with a 31" waist again. Topping Wilt Chamberlain's record with the ladies seems out of reach. So I will wander about dropping crumbs, wondering what it's all about. The only last I don't expect is for UConn to stop winning championships. [/QUOTE]
