Morning Brew's Opening today
Good morning. And so it begins: Cicadas are emerging in South Carolina. In Newberry County, their mating calls have gotten so noisy that residents are calling the sheriff’s office wondering why they’re hearing a roar or sirens.
Remember, cicadas are loud—like, as loud as a jet engine. And this year, the US is getting a double whammy, with Brood XIX and Brood XIII emerging together for the first time since 1803.

I checked the map yesterday to see if we would have them here. Apparently it may miss us. I hope so. Double of those creatures is not what I had on my bingo card for the summer.
I think if they showed up here in the summer months, they'd be BBQ Cicadas.
@Madken65
If you do that, take pics. 😉
Aren't there Cicada recipes floating around somewhere?
@Madken65
lol, I think there are. The article I read yesterday had a small mention of people or animals eating them. Mmmm, tasty treats. With their red blazing eyes.
I'm sure I've eaten worse over the course of my Crazy Years...
And I ate those god forsaken Lima Beans...that HAS to qualify.
