Yes, it’s that time of the year again. My constant sniffing and itchy eyes indicate that allergy season has finally hit the copper country. I’ve had just a light irritation to my eyes for the last week or so, but monday is when things really kicked into gear. I grabbed some nasal decongestant I had on hand and headed off for work, sneezing all the way. In general, my allergies are much better up here in the UP (versus downstate); the season is shorter and the pollen in the area doesn’t tend to bother me as much. Hopefully I’ll be feeling better soon.

We got our first major rainfall up here in at least 2-3 weeks. Not just your standard afternoon shower, it rained hard from about 2 pm until ~6 pm. I guess we need it pretty bad, but it sure is a pain when your only method of transportation is bicycle. My boss was kind enough to give me and my bike (and my other boss, but that is another story) a lift home so I wouldn’t get especially drenched.
