WebMaster's Rants & Raves 
If you haven't noticed, we've done tons of work on the site, and got involved with all sorts of stuff. We've been running between 55,000 and 75, 000 hits per month. That's a higher average than we've ever had. It feels great, but I think I need a brain transplant. At my age, anything is an improvement!. We've had a lot of fun dreaming up stupid crap to keep the site interesting. I think it has shown in the interest the wonderful media has had with us. Plus, we've been meeting terrifically interesting people from "Lions" to tigers. Weve even met some big cow-things!! Heh heh! We've been a little disappointed with the 17 year locust (cicada) hatch ... we thought it was going to be big in Connecticut this year, but it looks like we mis-judged how old we were when they last "struck". It looks like it'll be the 2006 or 2007 brood for CeCS. We did get a whacking big hatch in Maryland though in the Baltimore area !!! My daughter's husband manages a construction firm, and had been swearing a blue streak over the big black bugs. It seems that his power saw sounded like the mating song of the males, but louder! He out-competed all the males in the area and attracted HUNDREDS of females who swarmed all over him looking for a mate.  He said it's bad enough that they landed on his work, his arms and cloths, but he said it drove him nuts when they landed all over his hair and beard. Poor boy, any man would love to have hundreds of females after him !!!
My daughter thought it was a riot !!!
