In case you should forget the dangers of this horrible creature, I resubmit to you my warning from last year: Beware the Cicada.

Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day
To all of the Mothers, Mothers of Mothers, Daughters of Mothers and Mothers to be. And to my wife, who will someday cup the hearts of our children in her own hands:
You are the bearers of life, the caretakers of the future, and the nurturers of tomorrows Fathers and Mothers. May you find the hearts of those that you love closer to your own as they realize all that you do, all that you’ve done, and all that you will be asked to do in the future.
