Sep 12 - 18

So last weekend I was out back, and when I came in the house I started to sneeze. I noticed something in my nasal passage, So I blew my nose a few times and it went away. About 4 hours later it came back, and this kept occurring over and over again. On Monday night I got a strange headache and so I called Kaiser to ask them about it. The doctor immediately said I had covid and I should do a test. Apparently, the new variant causes headaches. Well I am thinking, great. With that nasal swab I can get whatever is in my nose. I come up covid negative like I always do, but I think I have solved my sneezing problem. About 6 hours later  the sneezing comes back and now it is worse. During covid no one wants to see anyone sneeze, so I have to be ready to hide at a seconds notice. Finally Friday morning it got so bad as I was getting ready to go to work, I just couldn’t stop sneezing. So, I kept blowing my nose in tissue paper. About the fifth time I look down at the tissue and there is this 1¼" foxtail (and yes, I did measure it). I thought, ha, at least it didn’t cost me the $900 it did for Cooper.

Folks after we hit 116 degrees didn’t the 109 day seem like nothing?
