Another Good Thing About Washoe Valley

According to the Wall Street Journal, other Nevada locales are gearing up for another Mormon Cricket invasion due to the mild winter. Places like North Reno and ghosttowns such as Tuscarora are being creative in their defense strategies against the sea of 2 inch insects. Residents of Tuscarora, all 13 of them, claim that the crickets hate hard rock music and are arranging  semicircle of boomboxes around the town to play noxious tunes from morning to night.

Meanwhile, here in Washoe Valley, we saw a 2 inch scorpion roadkill today on our walk and are cursing the burr buttercup that is springing up all over that will soon be the bane of any dogs paws.
