Love your piece, Mike. I've always found God has an amazing sense of humour also. Re. congestion from pollen -- go to your nearest health food store and buy a roughly $6 bottle of Stinging Nettle capsules. At first take 2 three times a day. They won't take effect immediately like benadryl because they have to build up in your system. But after 2 or 3 days you should be breathing free and clear. Then you can go to a maintenance dose of 2 in the morning and 2 at night. Everyone I've told about this now swears by it.
