No flying monkeys in the forecast, but next year Washington, DC, and a large surrounding area will see the return of the seventeen year cicadas and their cacophony that sounds like a bad 50's era sci-fi movie. They can be so thick on the ground that it is difficult to avoid stepping on them in neighborhoods where the grounds have not been disturbed in seventeen years. Local renovation projects that involve turning up the soil close to one's home will diminish the local cicada population. If that's not enough, then it could drive someone out of their house and motivate them head elsewhere they live in temporary quarters.

jbog Pick a charity already. In the unlikely event that you do not win, I promise to donate $100 to your charity and another $100 to the charity of whoever does win. Actually, I think I will donate $100 to the charity of whoever is in second place, and in addition to $100 to whoever is in first place. It's been that kind of year where, for example, those with successful stock portfolios and stay at home jobs are doing well, and others, not so much. I rely on the people that deliver groceries to my doorstep far more than I rely on my stockbroker.
