Anybody else finding the pollen really bad this year? Fortunately for me, pollen doesn't bother me all that much (it bothers my wife though) and my 95 Volvo that is parked outside my garage is covered in orange dust.

Not sure what does it for me. April 1 i had the beginnings of a sore throat and felt like the guy who got bit on walking dead and doesnt tell anyone. My neighbours lawn is one big weed patch. (Not the good kind) i also live near parkland refinery so the hood of my highlander looks like a skittles factory exploded almost every morning :noidea:

Quite something that city of vancouver has (had)$ 100 million in budget reserve while City of Burnaby has 1 billion. I guess thats why most burnaby city rinks and pools are 40 plus years old :noidea:

It's brutal.

Can't keep my car clean for an afternoon. The 2 in the garage are fine but the one outside is yellow. You can see the maple flowers shedding....

How can they pull this off? Antibody testing? Fever checks on entry?

A public school vp i know told me today the ministry of ed is kicking around the idea of half day classes for elementary school kids if they decide to do the mid may back to school. Half the kids would go morning and the other half would go afternoon. Lunch hour would be disinfecting time. Also said school year will be extended into july/august:noidea:
