Here's the forecast from Pollen.com:
Fortunately, just about all of us except the covidiots have face masks that should do fine in screening out the pollen and pollution.
The pollen is a normal, seasonal part of our "rural character;" the ozone pollution is also part of summertime heat, sunshine and heavier travel from visitors.
