East About to Be Overrun by Billions of Cicadas
An interesting article:

>Since 1996, this group of 1-inch bugs, in wingless nymph form, has been a few feet underground, sucking on tree roots and biding their time. They will emerge only when the ground temperature reaches precisely 64 degrees. After a few weeks up in the trees, they will die and their offspring will go underground, not to return until 2030.
>Next year, two places get hit: Iowa into Illinois and Missouri; and Louisiana and Mississippi.
I guess it's time to stock up on ear-plugs. 🙂
How Will That Impact My Carlson Survey?
Isn't Carlson support supposed to take care of bugs?
Sould we mail them in, UPS or FEDEX?
I think it would make a mess if I have to scan them and send them electronically.

I look forward to that sweet sound every year, just don't think the trees will enjoy it though.

Sounds more like a description of Autodesk VAR's. +o(
