Peak Pine Pollen Pool! (closing, live, electric)

[MikeJaquish]

So I washed the car yesterday.
And, it now goes 0 to 60 2.4 seconds quicker, and gives me 4.2 more miles per gallon.

Who knew washing off 900 pounds of pollen (3 days' worth) could yield such dramatic results?

I hope you covered up new plants with the cold we had overnight!

I buy hardy stuff, it is survival of the fittest in my yard!

Also, a GREAT solution for this time of year is a sinus rinse. A little alarming, but if you warm it up to body temp (think "Baby Bottles") and use ONLY distilled water, it's not too bad. The relief is amazing and undeniable.

I love the netti pot, Flonase and Zyrtec for seasonal allergies.

I bet the netti pot is awesome. I'm too much of a wuss to try it.

Flonase here - works well for me.

I'm a huge fan of this. For me it is a way to avoid meds, which turn me into a big zombie.

Weird, I'm seeing less pine pollen today.

Yep - I looked up in the trees and see less yellow on the buds too.

I think we're past peak.

Yeah, after hosing off the car yesterday, there's no new pollen. Hopefully all the wind we've had has blown it all down.

How do you clean the yellow dust from your wooden decks? Simply hose it off, or blowing it off? I'd like to start claiming back our screened porch...
