That special time of year has arrived. Click for your own exciting map.

That's right, Star Wars is going on in my eyes and I'm doing everything imaginable to quell the dark side, short of literally cutting up a cucumber from the garden to tie around my face. My luck, that would make it worse anyway.

Look up 

• chenopods 
• nettle 
• ragweed 
• National allergy bureau pollen scale 

But that's nothing compared to the mold count in my area.

I live on the edge of a forest. That bit of sprawling forest is on the edge of a state forest, and that is relatively near a national forest. 

The spiders are already out. They are early. These are the giant web spiders that can surprise you with blocked doorways or cross a yard from tree to tree and suddenly you get a face/body full of web because you typically don't see it without dew on it or light glinting at an angle. The black widows and brown recluse have been especially more prolific this year as well, and we've had way more poisonous snakes showing up than in years past, including a baby pygmy rattler in the back yard, which means there are dozens more around. Typically we only see copperheads.

That's right. I live in Mirkwood. Middle Earth really has nothing on the Ozarks.

I'm super thrilled I cleared out that nasty sinus infection before this started. I can't imagine how miserable this could have truly been.

By the way, you wouldn't believe the people freaking out right now, going in for covid tests because they think EVERYTHING is covid now. They totally forget about ragweed season and the usual strep from back to school and absolutely freak out thinking they're going to die from covid. You guys really need to get a grip.

ONLY 6% OF DEATHS WERE FROM ACTUAL COVID ALONE. This means the comorbidity was already killing these other patients.

Media has people so terrified that they fear that one word more then they fear anything else on the planet now. It's amazing how controlled people can be with fear. They will actually defend having to swaddle their faces up all day long thinking they are being good beans for the greater good, when really what they are doing is OBEYING. Without just cause. Think about that. Think about actual real science. Think about air in general. Think about air being something healthy that we all breathe and that we'd die without in just 4 minutes. Think about how you were never this terrified when much worse flu and noro viruses swept through killing more people than covid ever did. Ask why it's so important now to wear a mask.

The Mask as a Symbol of Subjugation Click that.

Just think about it for awhile instead of blindly accepting that it is your duty as a good bean to carry on something so ridiculous that it's literally crippling world economy with no proof to show that there is just cause for this response. Fear. **The Deadly Cost of Lockdown Policies** 👈 That is a pretty damning article. I wonder how many are going to sue the various levels of governments for wrongful deaths after this is all over. If that never entered your mind yet, you are certainly not paying attention.

Back to my day. I need breakfast. I've got stuff for blueberry pancakes, sausage and eggs, and I might need a little more coffee.
