Random Commuter Observation

There seems to be a particularly malignant form of pollen floating about the Dee Cee metro area at the moment. The past couple days, I've managed to get some of it under one or both of my contacts whilst commuting, with the resulting redness and tears making me look like a drug addict. Not just any drug addict either, but one who just got the bad news that his silver-haired mother back in the old country had died after expressing a final wish that she could have seen him just one more time before she passed.

Not many things more painful than getting stuff under your lenses.
