According to some site that @jackieLbrewer checked, the day the ragweed pollen count gets high isn’t for two more days. According to my nose, today is that day.

When you see this sort of little flower, you know that the tree is wind pollinated. (The title of the image is: Why I’m sneezing.) 📷

Ragweed season started back on August 9th, and now seems finally to be over. Yesterday, for the first time in maybe three weeks, I didn’t need to use nasal steroids. (Same nasal steroids I used to use almost all the time, until I went low-carb.)

Looks like allergy season will be starting in earnest in just a couple of days.

The giant ragweed is almost in full bloom.

I write science fiction and fantasy stories.

I speak Esperanto, and use it to communicate internationally. Esperantistoj, legu mian esperantan hejmpaĝon.

For a while I taught Taiji.

For eleven years I was a senior writer at Wise Bread, writing about personal finance and frugality.

Before that I spent a quarter-century as a software engineer.

I'm creating an email newsletter for this blog. Subscribe here:
