I'm so glad we don't have Cicadas here - they're so icky! Crossing my fingers for cooler temps and less humidity for you soon...it's gotta happen sooner or later, right???
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad I didn't put my hand on one of those cicada shells and hear, "Crunch"!
ReplyDeleteOne of those kinds of runs! I get it! The heat has turned up here again and the humidity has too, but I'm sure it's thicker there. :( I know fall is around the corner, but it sure seems like it's taking a lot longer to get here. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I remember those cicada shells in Houston - eeek!!!
PS - i love your countdown tickers on the side bar! i copied you! :)
ReplyDeleteThose countdowns are so handy for keeping track of everyone's next race!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a tough run, but you did it!! Good job!
ReplyDeleteyucky humidity! hope it gets cooler for you soon!
ReplyDeleteI thought your post was quite funny but I am sure it didn't strike you quite the same way.
