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.<\/p>\n
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.
