Even locusts won't go to Cleveland.

  Phil, please send some of those birds over to Alum Creek area.  The noise
is awful.  At least they are down in the valley, and not up on my hilltop.

  I can't hear any locusts up in Cleveland, where I am now.  How long do
these things stay around?  Probably too much to hope for that they will be
gone when I return Friday.
