At least the first one, anyway. As any Cincinnatian can tell you, there are a few local experiences that are must haves. Skyline Chili, Graeter's ice cream, Reds opening day, Oktoberfest, Riverfest, Taste, and the annual Oh God Dammit that is the Bengals. Well, there's another one, not so well known...cicaidas. Every 17 years, the main brood pops out of the ground to ruin your summer. That one's due in 2021. This year, however, one of the other broods decided to show up early. This morning, I saw about a dozen or so in my front yard. They're the smaller, dark green ones with bright red eyes and orange wings. Creepy little bastards are loud as all get out too. Just waiting for the temperature to go up, so they'll sing me the songs of their people...all day...every day...all summer. It's going to be like this for the next 3 summers. The lesser broods are off the main one by a couple of years. So welcome back, assholes! Give me a reason to cut down all the trees in the area.
