WTH That's Just WRONG.

I was looking for some nasty-nose information and stumbled on the website of the Allergy and Asthma Center of Austin. There, I found this messed-up image:



That right there is why Austin and the Central Texas region would be uninhabitable without modern chemistry. You are looking at (approximately) 1.27 brazillion little bits of pollen coming off ONE ashe juniper ("mountain cedar") tree. That, plus the 32 gallons of water an adult cedar consume every day, are reason enough for me to be willing to join up if someone starts a "CHOP EM ALL DOWN DAY" in Central Texas.

Also wrong:



We didn't know what the mystery plant in the back yard was until just now. That'd be ragweed, to which my Darling Wife is allergic.

There is no such thing as fresh, clean air in Central Texas.
