Some Souls Live to Party
Everyday I've been out looking, but I haven't seen a single cicada. Supposedly they've started to emerge here in D.C. Has anyone seen one yet? I've never have and I don't remember them in 1987 while living Pittsburgh. I'm sick of all this talk, I want to see one.

I saw bunches in 1996. I was living in Virginia, but had come up to New Jersey for work and they were swarming there. It was a different "wave" than the one surfacing now. They are tricky with this number of years thing. Yes, the cycle is 17 years, but in different areas they are timed differently, and some areas have more than one wave in the ground, so you get these Cicada things more often than evey 17 years sometimes, and there are ones that have shorter cycles that sometimes sync up and increase the effect...
Anyway, I was also in Maryland for the 1987 one. I remember the world being blanketed with the darn things. You couldn't walk without stepping on them or having flying ones hitting you. It only lasted a few days though.
Enjoy!
Still no cicadas.
