Ah, yes . . . pollen is like that in NW Florida, too. Why bother washing your car / truck when it only takes five minutes for it to be dirty again! And hey, love bug "season" will be here again soon, too. I guess Bob does not have those critters in New Jersey . . . those tiny little nasty bugs. You should see it Bob . . . one session on the track (Sebring, for example) and the windshield is a blanket of dead bugs. Gross. Boy, I can't wait to move to the South. Can you tell?

Oh, I have spent my time in the Southeast, part of it with a motorcycle as my transportation. Try that from April through June sometime!

It has been terrible this year. Thank god it has rained a lot. Can you imagine if we had no rain this spring.

I just got over my spring sinus infection.

I'm at a conference in Orlando and was thinking I was going to get a break. Not! My eyes have been twitching and watering all day.

I have a break tomorrow so I'm driving down to Sebring. Never been there. Want to get primed for later this year when I make in down to drive.

Just saw the first pair down here today. I hope they haven't made it to Sebring yet or I may have to make pit stops on Sunday to scrape them off.

Those love bugs are wicked down at Sebring. You might get lucky, though . . . maybe they haven't migrated yet. The worst I've seen them at Sebring was in December. Make sure you wash your car as soon as possible if there are love bugs around -- I heard that they can damage the paint. Acidic blood? Dunno. But I heed those types of warnings.

Wow . . . isn't this the second year in a row for SC Pat? Dang, that stinks. Can you at least water your lawn? Florida got plenty of water and yet, they are still griping about it. But no laws are preventing us from washing cars, etc.. I'll ship some water up to ya next time I'm out that way.

Nope, can't water the lawn, wash cars. Basically no water runoff can be created. You can hand water plants with a can.

Mu house is white siding and it has black and green mold all over and I can't pressure wash it!!!!

Man, that really bites. I hope they lift that law SOON. Really makes you appreciate water more. I guess folks that own car wash places are out of business then. Sheesh.

Yuck!

We're just ramping up for the pollen season here. I read somewhere that it is expected to be TEN times worse than normal. THAT SUCKS.

Bonnie, the car wash businesses here recycle the water. Some even use 'Brown' water (non-potable). I'm sure their business has gone WAY UP.

I like to wash my cars on Sunday. Haven't done that rain dance for many months now.

Don't they understand that there will be no rain until they allow people like you to wash their cars????? THAT always guarantees rain for me!
