Tormented – to no Good Purpose

That’s a pollen map of the continental United States grabbed last week from the homepage at www.pollen.com.  I should be grateful I was born into a world where drugs make my body less sensitive to allergens.  To the good, and I am stretching things  here, my allergic reactions indicate that I have a hyperactive immune system that seems to be in excellent spirits as it repels particulate matter.  Nevertheless, like the Kryptonite-Effect I experience whenever I accompany my wife in to a Hobby Lobby store, my allergic reactions are debilitating and render me not entirely unlike ordinary human beings.
