Back in my college days, I had some hemostats...

Isn't it curious how tiny doctors fingers seem to be ?   🙄 

Finger holes are smaller than the holes on kindergarten scissors.

Doubt if Proctologists ever use hemastats during medicinal practice...

Cycle is pretty well completed.  The last wind storm that came thru last week blew tips off the oak trees and they are scattered on the ground around here.

After they mate,  they bore holes in the ends of tree limbs and lay eggs.  Around here, mostly oaks.  The tips of the limbs turn brown and die, break off, fall to ground and the larva enter for another 13 or 17 years.

Saw my first redeye this week. Haven't heard a one, which means nothing, with tinnitus I hear crickets/locusts 24/7.

I can't dance like I used to.

For all the hype, in my area, it seemed more of a bust. Saw none and only heard a few. 

Yep, bust at my house too.  Heard quite a few back in the woods around the lower end of Beaver, but never saw them.
