Pollen

[pdub]

Everybody (or every place) is bound to be famous for something.

Knoxville is the most-worst city in the nation for springtime allergies (read into that "pollen"), per the scientific 2012 study of such things. Chattanooga is third. Some lucky city in Texas beat us out for second.

So we're right here in the pollen belt in Cleveland. We don't use the screened porch much until later in the season, so yeah, it piles up. Today I'm working on it but I don't really know why. It'll just pile up again.

Exhibit A:



Contest - guess what the objects were on the table on the screened porch?

Pdub's glove
A plant
An empty beer can
An empty 12 pack
And a paint stir stick...



I'd die with that much pollen!

[pdub]

Mighty close. The empty beer can spot was an ashtray. The empty 12 pack spot was cooking gloves, big leather ones. The plant spot was a coffee can we use for cigarette butts. Close, damned close, close enough.

Game over, Bob wins.

we get the battery charged pollen soon, (the pines.)
I lived on a hill, pines all around..
I saw this wall of dust coming, came out of the pines... must have been a mile.

it came through and covered everything. Does it just once. Wait a whole year again.
Not enough living things here.

I remember colors... be glad you have them.

LOCAL HONEY can help with allergies...

http://www.bee-pollen-buzz.com/honey-and-allergies.html

an excerpt:
It may seem odd that straight exposure to pollen often triggers allergies but that exposure to pollen in the honey usually has the opposite effect. But this is typically what we see. In honey the allergens are delivered in small, manageable doses and the effect over time is very much like that from undergoing a whole series of allergy immunology injections. The major difference though is that the honey is a lot easier to take and it is certainly a lot less expensive.

That's great advice Honey!

I bought "local honey" in the health food store closest to me. (15 miles away) it's local honey was 30 miles away from where I live, thus it was almost 50 miles away.. Local enough?
There is a christmas tree place that sells during xmas near by. But they do not sell year round!

Just got over our pollen-dump here. Juniper, pine, cypress, and grasses. It's like Mother Nature had an orgy...my eyes burned.

Gotta laugh at oneself before laughing at others!

I'm getting older than I really am all the time so I can't remember much most of the time....so if I've never said it, did I ever say that I love BangShift?

Bob, bring your 50x30 pants over here in June and meet Ed and lots of other great folks who type on this screen. The Weeville Challenge. A great journey and adventure. Instead of saying why not, think how can.

[oletrux4evr]

Oh yeah, that would be great!
