let's focus on the really loud cricket

Today I learned that this year the Gem & Mineral Show runs from Jan. 29 to Feb. 13. This information means something to gem, mineral, and fossil enthusiasts, but it also means something to people affected by traffic congestion. Enough said.

In other news, the way to keep a cricket from squeaking all night long in your bedroom is to risk waking up your husband with the vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner solves the problem really quickly, whereas the dilute molasses solution with a little lemon juice in a bowl just makes the whole house smell like molasses.

There is a plague of locusts here. Driving from the airport to B's parents' place was really gross. The magpies in the front yard like eating the locust corpses off of the cars' front grills. Plagues of locusts are really really gross.
