-- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. --

We've had a terrible grass pollen season this spring, after an unusually wet winter. Triple sneezes are not uncommon. I don't usually take Benadryl, but I am this year.

I heard it's so bad, that the meth heads are converting their Methamphetamine back into Sudafed.

I rode a bicycle 17 miles in one hour yesterday, and the front of it was caked with pollen. Richmond VA area.
Beijing has pollution. Richmond has pollenution.

Almost done here. Live Oaks almost finished with new leaves, pecans leafing out now. Pine tree pollen began in early February which is very early for us.

That's because meth is more readily available and you don't need ID. (just one of my serious pet peeves. You can get in trouble...not by cooking meth, by buying too much decongestant)

How grossed out would you be if I reminded you that pollen is basically.... tree semen?

I had a horrible bout with that crap this year...had nose/throat/respiratory issue for almost 3 full months.

Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Yup, that time of year. Our Oak trees are almost fully out. Two more weeks I figure.

I remember growing up in South Carolina when you could see it coming off the trees like fog. Luckily, it has never affected me.

This is the heaviest pollen year I remember in a long time. Strangely, I haven't had any allergic reaction to it at all this year.

It's how trees get even for having such a boring way of reproducing.

Makes sense to me since Mother Nature fucks me every year.
