"you people" have disappointed me. I went on vacation specifically so y'all would get rid of the pollen. Looks like you even had a good amount of rain one day.

And here I come back to the cloud already forming, and as noted, swollen pine trees just waiting to burst.

Driving on 40 yesterday there was no denying a hazy yellow cloud hovering in the horizon. It was almost surreal.

It was nice working at home yesterday so I opened up my bedroom windows - come back at night and one of my nightstands closest to the window was covered in pollen.

That’s the exact same way I learned not to do this in the Spring in NC when I moved here 15 years ago from TN.

I think a major design flaw in some of the newer high-end apartment complexes around here is this "semi-open" hallway for this very reason.

Without naming names, but saying it rhymes with Schmeights at Shmerredian...when I lived in one such "luxury" apartment complex several years back which had those semi-closed hallways; there was still pollen coating the hallway chair-rail when we moved out in August.

Hallway is open/airy just enough to allow the dust-cloud to coat the insides to an impressive degree...but not open/airy enough for rain or wind to be able to take it away.

Today is an abomination ... it needs to rain SOON. Let the dog out and he came back yellow.

^Today is probably one of the worst days of the whole season. It's going down from tomorrow both the temperature and the pollen density.
