About Today: What's That Sound?

From Bob Schulties, your About Today Editor

Zombies. It's always zombies. I think I was less scared of the dark and the sounds at night when I was a little kid compared to now. You know, an adult. An adult who really hopes this blanket fort is strong enough to ward off the approaching zombies.

Periodical Cicadas

When I was growing up, I lived in a really quiet little suburban town. You know, the kind without a lot of horn honking or street noise. So boy did we hear the cicadas when they came. It would start off slowly, then quickly rise to the point where you had to raise the volume on the TV. Inconsiderate bugs!
