I doubt you'll need bug spray. Maybe cicada spray.

I'm gonna have a car so I can drive some people around.

Those damn things are all over. Its frighteningly strange.

The Blues Fest is a great time, I've been in the past. Ian and I are flying back sometime on Sunday.

It's kind of strange I haven't seen or heard one yet. I remeber the last time and they were all over the place.

We don't have any cicadas near me...we are over where tracon is. IT is strange how they are all over in some areas, and non-existant in others.

None here in the desert!

I think the cicadas are lacking in areas that have been developed in the last 17 years. I know out by my apartment, there is not any cicadas at all. By my parents house, the exact opposite.

We live in a house that has been here since the 1920's. That is why it is so strange to me that we don't have any of the bugs. The seniors at the high school that my students go to released cicadas in teh building on thier last day.
