I care about the Wintertide where I live.
And that’s not because I’m big into skiing or hockey or anything care about that.
I care about the Wintertide where I live because the weather is good and it’s a respite from the heat. See, where I live the heat and humidity is the big deal. The Heating and A/C comes on in March and doesn’t stop until at least September. So, the Wintertide is a time that I cherish. Looking out my window, I can see that the Wintertide is coming to a close. The trees are budding out and things are getting ready to get green. With that comes plenty of pollen. And that generally means that I’m going to suffer through a few months with flu symptoms. Normally, I can deal with it by using over the counter meds. However, the older I get the more I have had to end up at the doctor’s office for flu symptom help. This year, while I will still stick with the flu symptom meds, I won’t be suffering with flu symptoms from the pollen while inside my house. This is due to the fact that I bought a whole house air purification system. The Heating and A/C tech was here not too long ago to install it. The thing is relatively small and fits right inside the air handler unit of the Heating and A/C. This thing easily destroys the DNA of the pollen with high intensity UV light. That means that any pollen that gets inside the house will no longer be a threat to my flu symptoms. I’m looking forward to at least having refuge inside my house while in flu symptom season.
