Subject: that sound: revised
I stand corrected and amazed!! I had thought the noise in Pbo was – *had to be* – from some sort of machine or other source of man-made pollution… after some neighborly chats, I find out it really is the sound of millions of cicadas, flapping their little abdomens… I am so amazed that these cicadas can make such an unworldly racket… really awesome. Thanks for the info! And sorry, KRG sewer co., for blaming it on you!! 🙂
