OK, OK, I know - no politics. Limited OT should be brought back, with immediate bans(not from the weather threads) for anyone engaging in insults/personal attacks/doxing. Shouldn't be difficult for mods. Just use common sense. It's pretty obvious when you see it. Grown adults should be able to engage in civil discourse, and if someone triggers them that much, take a deep breath, and don't engage. Simply ignore. Just an opinion. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East winds kill I love a nice NE wind for a week to generate a swell. Than a light west wind for a day. It happens in October. I've seen some dreamy surf conditions along our beaches during that combination. Beautiful day to work outside today. I didn't even notice the temperature besides it not being hot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But fish just like the chop better for stirring up food to feed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few folks whov encourage and participate in trolling and nasty personal attacks, and rarely offer any worthy posts on the topics at hand. We know who they are.

George BM Posted yesterday at 01:30 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 01:30 AM Well guys and gals... it finally happened... I was mowing the lawn this morning when I saw it. My first lantern fly sighting. All red-eyed and looking straight at me while trembling. I tried stomping it but it was on the tall soft grass so it was fine. A minute later I see one again. I don't know whether it was the same one but it flew onto a small tree trunk just out of my reach. About 30-40 minutes later I'm out mowing the front yard (the first sightings were IMBY) when a third lantern flew onto the tree trunk next to me... it zipped out from under my shoe in the nick of time like in an action movie and flew into the grass a few clicks away. ... Yes... I could've just said that I saw three lantern flies today and left it at that but I'm more of a storyteller. ANYWAYS seeing that I'm in obs... currently 81/68 at IAD. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldereagle Posted yesterday at 01:53 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:53 AM In my very limited forays into that political sewer there was plenty of triggered intolerant nasty personal attacks from some seriously deranged jackazzez.

They had been numerous the past 2 years down here in northern Waynesboro... For whatever reason the past 2 years they would swarm and sit on the siding on the south facing wall...Too fast to kill unless you spray something.... However the numbers in my yard have been down this year so far... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The older and J’s first year in college, 3 years ago, she had to created a social media campaign about the life cycle of the lantern fly. It was to help people know what to look for and what to do when you see them. I forget what MD agency was running it. Anyways it was the first we had heard about them. Que last year and they were all over. The numbers have seemed to have gone down a bit this year from what we saw last year. Have heard that bats and praying mantises love them. So we have decided next year we are going to get some mantis eggs and spread them around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
