Fluff
The cottonwood trees are especially cottony this year. I was driving around near West End on a McKay trip, and it honestly looked like snow flurries coming down (or perhaps like there had been a terrible accident at a down comforter factory). No exaggeration. I don't think we get it as badly as some places in the midwest, because I rarely see drifts, but it's definitely in the air.
Every year, the cottonwoods sending out their seeds coincides with something that plays merry hell with my allergies. I think it's grass, because while oak (which starts in March) does me in, the twenty-four-hour pills generally allow me to breathe. But they don't touch whatever this stuff is. Ugh. Note to self: move to a city or town that doesn't lie in a basin.

Incredible pictures of the Mississippi floods. Wow. I'm impressed at the ring dykes some people have put up!
