I never thought I would be happy to see some rain… but this morning I was.  The pollen has been SO BAD for the last couple days - it’s been gross.  I went running last night and it was hard to breath and every time I opened my mouth I could just feel little pollen particles getting inside.  But it finally rained this morning and my car wasn’t yellow and I could actually breathe.  My neighbor across the street has been walking around the neighborhood with a medical mask on her face for the last couple days - like there is a SARS outbreak, instead of just pollen.  It makes me chuckle.  It shouldn’t… but it does.
