Aloha Bill,

I love the outdoors and nature... call us a little loopy, but the kids and I have been sleeping in a tent in our little suburban backyard this past week... I'm pretty sure neighbors think we're a bit off, lol.

However, being a Hawaii gal, I haven't experienced all that the mainland offers... and I can honestly say I'm grossed out at the thought of the Cicadas coming out May 22nd-ish... YUCK! I understand the noise is relentless and their little carcasses form a crunchy canvas as far as eye can see (are people just trying to freak me out)? Ewe. I wonder of my dog Rigo will try to eat 'em. ou, DOUBLE YUCK! Think I'm about to faint here...

Hugs, Kim-Char
