That is pretty great news! And it should be home well before the weekend! Standard 90.00 CLA price, or was it more?

less - the repair was a simple fix of replacing a missing aperture spring, so minimal disassembly

$48.....

That looks like it could have been taken right around my area. Nice one.

I believe there are some annual cicadas, at least in some places, but they don't appear in the droves we see with the periodic ones. The gigantic swarms of the periodic ones are a great adaptation for overwhelming any predatory pressures on their varieties.

In the south of Brazil where I grew up we had the yearly cicadas. At least they made lots of noise every year, and were never in droves... in our German community we called them Weihnactskäfer because, of course, they sing during the Christmas season (no relation to the Australian Christmas Beetle...)

Walking onions? Are they edible? Sorry to hear that the Spiratone will be delayed, but you do live out in the country a bit.

they are quite edible - and taste just like a medium-hot onion...

no worries on the Spiratone - I'll get plenty of time with her...
