I drove down to Shippensburg again to today. Now around here, you don't really see evidence of the cicada take-over. You may see a dead one here or there on the road, but you don't here them and you rarely see them. However, as I was driving the turnpike today, particularly around the Breezewood area, they were just flying all over the place. There as no point in cleaning off the windshield because as soon as you did, another 5 would splatter into it. It was crazy! I had 7 of the little beasts stuck in my windshield wipers and about 50% of the glass was covered with cicada internal organ goo. Dead cicada bodies littered the roadway as dead bugs would just shear off of the car in front of me. Where's Moses when you need him?
