Robert Johnson June 13, 2018 at 10:33 PM The men are buzzing all around. From glen to glen, you can hear the sound. Seventeen and soon to die. It's no wonder, hot women is why. :)

Paul Callus June 11, 2018 at 3:32 PM Discrimination...It is not fair that females are not allowed in the choir, Andrea! I can imagine the din caused by a host of cicadas! Regards // PAUL
