Letters from NYC

I cannot believe they have florida as low. My son is coughing every time he goes out. The fires are making it a mess down here.

Lovely. I was wondering what all that wheezing and hacking was from. Perhaps I should actually *stop* smoking and take care of my asthma, so I don't sound like (or turn out like) an emphysemic old fart.

Uhh.. ok, fires aren't pollen... but go to Weather.com and check their Pollen for west palm beach and it is much higher for certain plants. And I agree.

Actually, that was last night's US map. This morning's rating for your area is higher (medium). The reason I like pollen.com over weather.com is the fact that I can get 5 category predictions vs. 3, true actual numbers vs a general category, and a more extensive indication of the types of pollen in the air (I'm not allergic to everything). And I get this info not just in my emal (which other websites can't do), but I also have it sent to my cell when it gets high.

That's critical for asthma suferers.

I have been sneezing and weezing for the past couple days.

See that the grass is starting to pollinate. Grass is my enemy, I just touch it and I break out in welts. Fresh cut grass within a block radius of me will throw me into a ashtma attack.

I am not happy about the next coming couple of weeks. blech.

Yeepers! Makes me almost want to close the windows... Almost...

Happy Mother's Day
