The Daily Courier reports:

Hang onto your hats, folks. The wicked wind isn’t just whipping your hair around, it’s slamming tiny grains of pollen up your nose and making spring allergies even worse than they usually are here in Prescott.

Perched as it is at the junction of three different eco-systems – the Southwest Desert, the Western High Plains and the Western Rocky Mountains – the Prescott area has the dubious distinction of being the worst place in the United States for allergies.

“It’s the worst place, period, (without any) qualifications,” agreed Dr. Richard Zeschke, a Prescott allergist.

I still like it here. While my allergies are bad, I am having less asthma problems here than I did in the Phoenix area as there’s less dust and particulate pollution here. Better to sneeze than to wheeze.

Tombo has tagged me with: Go to the sixth folder of pictures on your computer, and pick the sixth pic. That’s it (I hope!). Then tag six others.

Here’s my 6th 6th image. It was taken at the Fry’s on Fair St. When I got there all were standing outside, a smoke alarm went off. No shopping that day.

Trip to Las Vegas

Gary and I were in Las Vegas for a family gathering. My Mom and Brother both had big (even multiple of 10) birthdays in Jan and Feb of this year. We decided to meet, my brother chose Vegas. Following are some photos taken with my Nikon CoolPix point and shoot. More photos are on Flickr
