Forecast rain today and tomorrow will be more welcome than usual here at the Rancho. This winter’s round of cedar fever (which isn’t a fever and isn’t about cedar) has been a particularly bad one. Although they’re always bad enough.
The damn juniper (called mountain cedar) trees have been puffing out billows of pollen which only a rain can disperse. We’ve had several good rains but the damn pollen has always come back to give me another snoot-full.
If the Democrat/Obama economy wasn’t so rotten so many other places this annual curse would be cutting into our bumper-to-bumper traffic. Hasn’t noticeably so far, however.
A prayer is in order: May this rain finally do the trick.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Speaking of “green power” – your sidebar with the windmill. It is too fast, but it kinda looks like the blade comes off and hits the tower, breaking it in two.
Is that right?
[I know you weren’t speaking of “green power” in this post – but I hadda ask. It’s been bugging me for a while.]
Could be. It just falls apart: whether by sabotage or internal contradiction.
These things don’t last. Especially not when maintenance falls off due to loss of the federal tax bucks that got them built. It’s a scam. They don’t pay their own way.
Kinda reminds me of an old Huey rolling over and digging in.
Take care. Are you sure the modern medicine hasn’t invented some remedy for that curse?
No foolproof remedy I know of. The rains helped but it’s not over yet.
