muckefuck"I know that," you say, "but when?" Good question. The date's been pushed off more times than a Microsoft release. At Friday night's dinner, Nuphy said that the predicted warm weekend would finally break the camel's back. Sunday and Monday were (contrary to prediction) simply gorgeous--70s and sunny--and today and tomorrow are supposed to be in the 80s.
So where are they? I've been hearing rumours of emergence in the western suburbs,and I was in an eastern suburb over the weekend and didn't see any. It's not like I don't know what to listen or look for. In fact, it's not summer for me until I hear their metallic cries piercing the humid night air. But I have yet to see a single telltale hole in the ground or dessicated skin, much less an actual bug-eyed monster. No one I know has seen one either--they're as elusive as those tit clamps I told you about in my last post! (You did read my last post, didn't you?)
