How are you holding up … in nature? The cicadas have arrived in Nashville to make every thing bizarre. After hibernating for the previous 13 years—plotting—they’re now darting round searching for mates. Their screaming is fixed and there are Biblical swarms of them to duck from as you go about your every day duties, like taking a stroll or opening your automotive door. Some neighborhood children paint the shells with nail polish so each from time to time I’ll swat away a cicada donning a lavender shell. And there’s a hand-crafted poster within the faculty hallway to Save the Cicadas. Everybody wants a trigger!
Under are some enjoyable finds to your buggy weekend.
