Springtime For Histamine
It’s springtime in the southeast. Always a fan of fresh air, and with the beautiful weather, I’ve been leaving my windows open, to make use of the nice temperate weather (and because I’m a cheap bastard and don’t want to pay a heating/cooling bill).
Well, about 10 days ago, I swept the floors. And then today, I had to sweep them again. Below is what I swept together in a 12′x13′ room.
Now, some of you wonder how I could let my house get so dusty. Okay, I’ve been living as a bachelor for the last 4 weeks, so I doubt you really bothered to wonder. But this isn’t dust. Dust isn’t yellow.
Yep, that’s a pile of pollen on my floor. Atlanta at this time of year is covered in yellow. So a bit of advice, if you’re plagued by allergies, don’t move here. Thankfully I have none [allergies], so I’ve been doing just fine.
Trivia question: Who (other than Sober John, I guarantee he picked up on it even before I thought to write it) can name the reference in the title?

I can’t answer your question Brad, but we pollen down here in Houston too. It’s been especially strong this year and TF and I have been coughing for a while now. I think we are almost out of the pollen season now because it has stopped falling on my car. We have “greened” up nicely. Keep sweeping!
The Producers came to my mind.
DING DING DING!!! WE HAVE A WINNAH!
i woke up to a nice warm blanket of snow covering the ground this morning… no pollen in sight.
Ah, how I love the sweet hoosier air here.
I must say though, I’d rather deal with that layer of pollen than the layer of crap that once festooned my vehicle when i used to work in Auburn where there was a metal foundry next door and out of their smokestacks spewed a fine black powdery substance that coated everything nearby.
Three cheers for benedryl! Just don’t take 12 of those at once like i did.
