People Against Cedars

Posted on December 27, 2007 | 2 Comments

Reactions to cedar fever, the annual South Central Texas malady, vary. Some treat the symptoms. Some get the only-partially-successful vaccine. And some just suffer: the itching roof of the mouth, the plugged sinuses, the constant sneezing and watering, itching eyes. But these folks have taken up a quixotic quest. They mean to remove the offending ashe junipers (mountain cedars) from the very landscape. They may have given up, however. The site doesn’t seem to have been updated for several years. Probably too busy sneezing and blowing their noses.

    Er… I guess a sterile ER-type room planet will be more suitable for some types. I have been suffering from some kind of allergy most autumns and springs here, but never even thought of getting rid of flora to suit my sinuses.

    It’s their impossible dream. Even if they managed to uproot and burn all the offending flora, it would just grow back.
