trees on the Rampage

[LCHIEN]

the trees are having their semiannual orgy and making me miserble.

The attached picture shows a (originally dark green) car parked outside overnight. The yellow dust on it is oak tree pollen (the pine trees are going crazy too but there's no pine trees within 100 yards).

The papers everyday show awful levels of pollen.

I'm all stuffed up despite antihistamines and decongestants for the last couple of weeks. No respite in sight according to the forceast.

Must be the trees' revenge for all the woodworking I've done.

Every year about this time I surely am glad I don't have allergies.

Been sneezing for the past few days. It's not quite as warm today so things should be a little better.

I'v enever though of pollen as the result of an orgy among trees, but I suppose that's absolutely correct.

[smorris]

Same thing here but it's oak pollen. Everything has a coating of yellow dust and the pool just exploded into life. I'll be shocking it twice a week until this pollen bloom quiets down in a couple weeks.

This is the time of year (and August) that I wish I didn't have eyeballs. Without the allergy shots all year I'd be useless right now.
