I thought it was something blooming. I’ve been coughing a lot for the last 24 hours and having a lot of trouble with burning eyes. That’s usually a sign my allergies were acting up. However, the amount of cottonwood and black willow pollen floating through the air (they are both white and fluffy and very visible) has been much reduced in the last week, so I was a little confused.
Now I have a probable answer. The National Weather Service had issued an Air Pollution Watch Level Orange starting lunchtime yesterday for expected high ozone levels. I have a terrible time with pollution. You’d think I have a tolerance due to growing up in Houston, but that is not the case.
I do have one question though. If we have high ozone here, is there any way we can ship it to help plug the hole in the ozone layer?
