The pollen chunks are so chunky if I ran around outside with my mouth open I could play live action PacMan. (< * * * *

Yes.  Really.  "Grass Seed Capital of the World" is apparently a thing.   And I live nearby.

ACHOO!

The running trails this morning looked as if it had snowed. Only that white fluff wasn't snow, it was poplar fuzz.

Last weekend my dad had to power wash the truck because it was covered in a thick layer of pollen.  It was gross.

I feel bad for people with severe pollen allergies; you cannot avoid it. One reason we decided to get central air conditioning actually, so we didn't have to open the windows and let all the pollens in to irritate my husband's allergies.  Hang in there, spring is almost over.  :(

Good discovery today: Namaste baking mixes don't contain potato!  Yay!  (This means I can eat Mickey waffles at Walt Disney World in October - at select restaurants, as some others use Bob's Red Mill mixes.)  :thumbsup:

I'm afraid to ask ... what's the usual message?

Usually either just an ERROR message! or something about not available in your area. But Jon Stewart takes the sting out.  ;D

And, though I'm not positive, I think it's blocked because of agreement with the Canadian government. There are rules regarding the advertisements on tv and sometimes it's noticeable that ads are changed as they cross the border. We don't see Super Bowl ads during the game, and ads during American Idol used to be changed too, though I don't know if they still are.
