1 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.

2 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.

3 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.

4 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.

5 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.

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

7 Happy Mother's Day
