Actually Cool Things You Can Do in San Francisco This Summer Thrillist 5/4/2021 © Flickr/David Yu
Ah, summer in San Francisco. When the temps drop, the fog rolls in, and everyone busts out their warmest puffy. But just because we’re wearing ski jackets when the rest of the country is in shorts and t-shirts doesn’t mean we’re gonna have any less fun. Especially now that California is (tentatively) scheduled to reopen on June 15th (as long as we can keep our COVID numbers down, so get vaccinated and wear your masks!). Sure, summer 2021 isn’t going to look exactly like 2019 there’s a bunch of stuff that’s not going to happen or has been postponed, like Burning Man (coming back in 2022 for better or for worse) and Outside Lands, which has moved to Halloween weekend (which is probably a good thing since the weather will be much more likely to cooperate). Still, this summer is also not going to look anything like 2020, thank goodness (and Dr. Fauci). So go forth, wear

Have you heard the buzz? After 17 years of living underground feeding on sap from the roots of plants, one of the largest broods of cicadas will be emerging soon to lay their eggs in trees.
Brood X, or the Great Eastern Brood, will spend 2-4 weeks in late May and early June courting, mating and flying. The eggs they lay will hatch 4-6 weeks later. Their presence will be hard to ignore, as cicadas can emit sounds between 80 and 100 decibels, equivalent to a low-flying airplane or a lawn mower! You can expect to see them in Ohio and about 14 other states as soon as the weather reaches 64 degrees. Their offspring will head back underground and will not be heard again until 2038.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) During the last emergence of Brood X cicadas in 2004, biology professor Martin Edwards and his students strapped up their hiking boots and ventured into the trees carrying “big, fat” Garmin GPS units and “old-fashioned paper maps with pencils and notebooks.”
If they saw the red-eyed bugs or heard the cicadas’ distinctive buzzing, they would jot down their coordinates with pencil and paper. So it would come as no surprise that the maps were incomplete, said Edwards with Muhlenberg College in Pennsylvania.
