Riding home tonight I rode thru a plague of grasshoppers. One of the golfers at work today was complaining about not being able to paly the back 9 due to the creatures. Anyone else out there dealing with or have dealt with them this summer?

I have not encountered grasshoppers in Alabama, but I would ask that you keep them in Wisconsin. We have enough varments down here.

Many years ago, while riding west of Sydney (on the Mudgee Rd, for the Aussies) I rode through a grasshopper plague.
When I got home, every forward facing surface of my body and the bike was GREEN from all the splattered bugs.

The last thing that goes through a bugs mind as it splatters against you,
is its butt.

Just don't get stuck in a storm of June beetles. They're harmless enough except for the fact that they're about the size of a cell-phone and about as hard too.

Look out for the frogs raining from the sky. They squish when you hit em.

A couple of years ago there was a major car accident on a favoured bike road in my neck of the woods called Lucas Valley. On a section of the road there is raised section on one side, someone was driving along and suddenly a cow landed on his car having just jumped from the raised section... maybe the cow was aiming for the moon...?

I can't even call that one ; I would not want to be hit (or visa versa) by a cow, have you seen those things, they're HUGE!

No grasshoppers this year but we have had swarms of them in the recent past. They did a bang up job devouring the vegetation at the ex's family ranch one year. They even ate the leaves off of the oak trees. This year it was crickets. Hordes of the buggers.

Yep, cows are big buggers. I used to help work cattle at the ranch. Never stand between a pissed off cow and an open gate. Or a closed gate if it's REALLY pissed.
