Pine pollen is scary
Coming home from the grocery store this AM, noticed that it looked smoky in the neighborhood. Some construction going on, so figured neighbor had backhoe going, or a truck had gone by.
Up on my porch roof later on, pressure washing the siding. Noticed the smoke again. Then saw where it was coming from. When a breeze came by, this cloud of "smoke" drifted off the pine branches all up and down the street. It's pine pollen season, folks. The cars are turning yellow, as is the entire street. But when it looks like it's smoke, that's some serious pollen count.

I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

I have been sneezing nonstop for 2 days now. The pollen count here must be astronomical. I may actually break down and go get some Claritan.
There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust while the infamous sit at banquets.

Heck, that ended at least six weeks ago!

Besides turning everything outside yellow...
Let me count the ways:
insomnia, constipation, menopause syndrome, anti-wrinkle and skin disease, anti aging, obesity, anti-fatigue, prostate diseases, liver diseases and cardiovascular diseases
It also says that it is 97% Chines Pine Pollen. I don't know what the other 3% is.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Oh dear. What to do. What to do. Stay on post topic or ask DUDE! A FINE SET ON YOU; Merv could have those as canapes before the main meal. Excellent job I must say.

Pollen!?! I faht in your general pollen direction. We live in a miasma of pollen, but the yellow stuff stopped months ago. Tree and grass give forever. Mold spores are our friends.
Well, then
