Yep, you guessed it: Ants attacking someone's discarded Lunchable. Aside from this, I got nothing!
Sunday, August 2
I didn't technically take this photo, so I guess I am a dirty, cheating fiend. Stacy took it. She's the reason there is a Sunday August 2 photo, and the reason I was out at the lake after church in the first place.
I did catch that fish on my own, though I was using my dad's rod and reel.
There is no health in me.

We mistakenly refer to these insects as "locusts," though no one seems to know why. Their sound is inseparable from my childhood here in Eastern Texas. I like them.

From Wikipedia: "A cicada (pronounced /sɪˈkeɪdə/) is an insect of the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha, in the superfamily Cicadoidea, with large eyes wide apart on the head and usually transparent, well-veined wings. There are about 2,500 species of cicada around the world, and many remain unclassified. Cicadas live in temperate to tropical climates where they are among the most widely recognized of all insects, mainly due to their large size and remarkable acoustic talents. Cicadas are sometimes colloquially called "locusts",[1] although they are unrelated to true locusts, which are a kind of grasshopper. They are also known as "jar flies". Cicadas are related to leafhoppers and spittlebugs. In parts of the southern Appalachian Mountains in the United States they are known as "dry flies" because of the dry shell they leave behind.
Cicadas are benign to humans and do not bite or sting, but can be pests to several cultivated crops. Many people around the world regularly eat cicadas: the female is prized as it is meatier. Cicadas have been (or are still) eaten in Ancient Greece, China, Malaysia, Burma, Latin America, and the Congo. Shells of cicadas are employed in the traditional medicines of China.[2]
The name is a direct derivation of the Latin cicada, meaning "buzzer". In classical Greek it was called a tettix, and in modern Greek tzitzikas - both names being onomatopoeic."
