I may be a little late with this public service announcement but better late than never. This year, we in SW Ohio have heard very little about and from our yearly friends; the cicadas. I never heard from them until a week ago.
Each year one brood or another pops up out of the ground (literally) and annoys us for a time. Some broods are larger than others. One large group lives for 17 years underground planning their attack on the human population. This year the brood was a very small one.
But, I had an incident. Last Monday, playing golf in Mason I was brutally attacked. Just me! Not my friends or any of the 11 guys in our group. They ran into me numerous times. They'd land on me when I was swinging, dive bomb me while I rode in the cart, one crashed directly into my forhead and sunglasses as I prepared to hit.
We all came to the conclusion that it was the bright yellow-gold golf shirt I was wearing. I don't know if they thought I was a flower or a female cicada but certainly they liked me. I hope it never happens again.
I write this as a warning to you to be careful of the color of your clothing this time of year.
