It's no secret that this has started off as the worst pollen season in recent memory. Everyone is sneezing, hacking up their lungs and weeping out of every hole in their heads, even those hardy folks who normally are not affected - and by that I mean me. Yuck!
So yesterday I walked in to the room where several of my co-workers were huddled to avoid both students and light green tumbleweeds...
Co-worker: "AAAAA-CHOO!"
Me: [Resisting the urge to start barking - thanks, Coyote! I'll never be the same now!] "Bless you. What a mess out there. The pollen is really bad today."
Co-worker: "Thanks. Yeah, it makes you want to cut down every Pine tree in the state!"
Me: "Except that right now the biggest culprit are the Oak trees. But the Pine trees will have their day in the sun real soon..."
Co-worker: "Along with everything else in the woods!"
Me: "After all, every Dogwood has its day!"
And that was when they physically threw me out of the room.
Fortunately, pollen piled up and tied into bales makes for a soft landing.

And they were right to do so.
Growing up I didn't have allergies. Then I moved to Georgia and I died. Now I'm back up north...and I'm still dying! It's not fair.
Woof!
