Subscribe to the 2W2aB feedAs I rolled into Chicago on Thursday afternoon, I wondered if I would have a problem with the Cicadas (those humongous bugs that come out in the millions once every 17 years). I lived in the Wash. DC area during the last cicada boom and remember how icky it was driving with them on the roads....
in a car...
but on motorcycle?
Well, I felt pretty lucky because I did not see very many cicadas Thursday afternoon or evening and just a few more on Friday. I heard them, though, and that high pitched buzz is unmistakable.
This morning I left for Milwaukee and got on the I-94 northbound.
There they were. Eeeww.
When cicadas start hitting your knees, shield and helmet at 70 MPH they make a big and messy thud. They sting a bit on the knees, too.
That's all I am going to say about that...
Made it to Milwaukee - Harley town! - fine and am looking forward to a talk at the Schwartz Books store in a couple hours.
