ROFLMAO!!!!!

Mr. Coats,

I'm not surprised at this post at all. I was actually thinking about doing something like this myself.

Hmmmmm, think it has anything to do with location? I heard the pollen count was supposed to upwards around 2000 today. YIKES! Yes, fold, that would be two thousand! Not sure if it got there, but my guards red 911 was practically orange when I left work this afternoon.

I hate this yellow stuff. It would only be worse if I were allergic.

Randy

My car was only in the driveway for 48 hours!

A guy at work was outside our shop area today testing a generator (for maybe 15 minutes) and came back inside absolutely dusted with the yellow crud.

Here's a closer look at the little b*st*rds (thanks, www.botany.hawaii.edu)

Wish I had taken a pic of my car last week. Parked under a nice dogwood (shade to work on it) had a storm come thru and knock all the blossoms off the dogwood. Looked really pretty all covered with blossoms, except for that rust coming thru.

Oh man we just got through the oak pollin season here. That ****e was everywhere! The P car is in the garage, but the purple van sits out. Some days it looked like a green velvet paint job.

A "political" post from Tony. Hmmm, imagine MY surprise!

Have a good weekend, Tony.

yep, my Sepia car has a metallic dijon mustard look to it these days. I think it does, anway. My eyes are too watery and swollen shut to get a really good look at it. I pray for rain this time of year since it knocks some of that stuff out of the air temporarily. I remember it being much worse when I lived in FL.
