There's a news deal on MSN about the periodical cicadas that are soon to emerge in parts of Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, and Wisconsin (I think). I thought of you, Pam, wondered if you are far north enough and if any one else is in the middle of it. I find the idea of periodical cicadas fascinating, somehow...maybe because we aren't affected by them. :)

Hi Mitzi, I don't know if you remember from the times I popped in at chat but I live 'north' of Pam.

I live by Pam and yes, we are expecting them also! I've looked at the Brood maps and we are pretty much on the southern edge of it.
