    Plague of crickets!

    I saw on the news last night that Arizona and Idaho have crickets...billions of them. Crickets everywhere. They said that the squished crickets in the road are slick as ice and causing accidents! Easily freaked out people are freakin out!

    Where did they all come from? Does science attempt to explain this?

    Anybody out there dealing with the cricket plague?

    It simply isn't cricket, old chap.

      Many years we have the same thing here.
      I'm not sure on the cause, but what you cite isn't isolated.

        Sloww writes on short lines
        A sort of Texan haiku

          I can't help how I am. God. I can't do anything right around here.

            As with most non-cyclical insect infestations, mild winters and wet springs tend to lead to population explosions.

              Don't ever change, Sloww.

              Don't you like me writing poetry to you? I've never done a haiku before - I doubt I did it quite right, but at least the 5/7/5 syllable structure is in there.

                I didn't even remember what a haiku was anymore.
                But yes, thank you.
                Now, on with the crickets.

                  Sloww gambled a tent and won a billion crickets.
                  Eventually the crickets died.

                  Moral :
                  Americans should not play cricket.

                      Permanent ink, or the kind you can easily wash off?

                              Idea for a new thread though, write a (friendly ) haiku on fellow apo's
                              Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
