"Only want to see you gagging in the Yellow Haze...Yellow Haze, Yellow Haze...Yellow Haze, Yellow Haze...Yellow Haze, Yellow Haze...Only want to see you gagging in the Yellow Haze."-The Artist formerly known as Prince

It's spring here in the Peach State and with that comes pine pollen. Lots of pine pollen. Buckets and buckets and buckets of pine pollen. The pollen count measured in Atlanta is hovering right around 6000 right now which is somewhere between extremely high to astronomically outrageous depending on whose scale you're using. Everything is covered in this sort of yellow dust stuff. Washing your car is an exercise in futility as is trying to sweep off your porch.

Yesterday I rode a nice 40 mile hill interval route and when I got home it looked like I'd been trying to eat Cheetos with the insides of my elbows and the back of my knees. I looked at the face in the mirror at home and I was jaundiced and my lips were completely yellow.

Plant sperm is great if you're a plant I suppose but I'm not a plant. My sinuses and other respiratory bits and pieces don't seem to want to be impregnated in a planty sort of way so breathing has been interesting.

Hopefully we'll get some rain this weekend to knock some of this stuff out of the air but right now we just have moderate winds to blow all the stuff around and get it into and through ever nook and cranny imaginable.

Thanks for Reading.
