Are YOU a Tootle Puffer??

[3mg Meniere]

Some get over 100 decibels. You can hear the ones here from 50 yds away driving by with your windows rolled up.

I haven't heard them for years. No consolation that my tinnitus makes about the same sound.

My street

It's trash day

You had to remind me......

That pic looked kind like the sargrasso sea. That is a boat wake up thru there isn't it?

Not quite sure what you mean.

Around here it looks like this!

1/2 hour to the West of me.

1 hour to the South of me.

4 hours to the East of me.

We have had much sadness down here too.

Canada the beautiful - love it, though I've only been to BC.

I'd send in a pic of my street, but unfortunately I'm at work...

Hi everyone. I just read the description of a tootle puffer and realize that's exactly what I am. So hi to all my fellow tootle puffers!

Welcome to the tread!

 

[AllElseFailed]

Welcome to the tread!

Thank you!

We have the kind that only come out of the ground every 17 years. Noisy jokers.

We have some every year every 12 years or so they are VERY thick and LOUD!
I think that eventually they will be thick and loud every year. but I will be dead by then

I've always been puzzled about that 17-yr or 12-yr or whatever cycle... we have them EVERY year, starting in July, and they're ALWAYS loud.

After living in suburbs and a rural area all my life, when I moved into Atlanta at the age of 19, I missed the sound desperately... Now, I live in suburbs again, far enough from the beastly city that cicadas are just part of the summer soundtrack. They're grotesque to look at, but my cat likes 'em.

I love the pictures of where everyone lives!! So many beautiful places...
Id post pics of home but for some reason my laptop and ECF are not getting along today...I can upload everywhere else and add to posts on other forums but not here...not sure what the deal is...
Im not at home anyway, we are staying in the most amazing place in PA Victorian Charm Inn Home unfortunately the link is the best I can do till I figure out what the hate on is between laptop and forum, and the pics do not do it justice!

My answer for the 5 acre back yard.

Ah, the 50" rotary PTO... sadly, I could not get it between all the trees I have here and mowing around them requires a small riding mower and a kamakazi attitude (Avante!). I assume that photo is your place in Utah.

We once had a squirrel monkey. One year there was a big crop. We collected them and froze them, and he enjoyed the feast for quite while.

I host my pics on Photobucket, and then post a link to the pic here with img brackets

Had to read that twice. Thought you had a bumper crop of squirrel monkeys on the first fast read thru

I may have to go back to doing that since nothing else is working

I just have the photos on my PC and use the upload file thingy at the bottom of the reply box.

LOL. I usually proofread my posts. Too busy writing elsewhere to take care with that.

It was written fine it was my fast scan reading that was bad.
I was like "no way" after the first fast read.
