To be honest, I am not sure about the hype about the solar eclipse this year and the cicado broods coming out.
I was a little arch this morning when I said I’d seen this movie before, but I have seen solar eclipses and cicadas before 2024.
I mean, we had a solar eclipse only seven years ago (another curmudgeon remembers). We had another once-in-a-lifetime concurrence of cicada broods emerging in 2015.
I hate to be all old manny about it, but I’ve been at Nogglestead for coming up on fifteen years, so I’ve been here to compare things year-to-year in the same place. And I am coming to learn how much of the noise in the news and on the Internet are written by young people or vagabonds who lack that experience, so every experience in their new location is the first, best, superlativest thing ever.
