Green Fog

The pollen count is ridiculously high. Everything is a nasty yellowish green. Monday I did a drive thru car wash after buying gas on my way to a meeting. Yesterday, my vehicle was back to being yellow-green in color. I could use the ice scraper to get the pollen off of the windows of my car.

How bad is the pollen? Yesterday I had to come home around lunchtime to get some things I had left here. Heading back downtown I decide to stop at a burger joint. The main exit with the most fastfood places between my house and downtown is also home to people selling drugs or their bodies. As I am waiting for my order, I notice a group of women working their particular area of sidewalk. One had on her booty shorts and a bare midriff top. As she was attempting to wave down cars with one hand, the other hand was holding up a surgical mask. I wish I had a camera on me to take a photo.

I assume that the surgical mask was to lessen the effects of the pollen but I could be wrong. Would it hinder her normal clientele to see her with a mask on? Would the johns even think that maybe she has some kind of communicable disease? I guess if they thought that they wouldnt be stopping to pick her or her coworkers up anyway.
