Damn this coast and its "allergies". After a life relatively free of sinus congestion, I've discovered in the past two years that I have tree allergies. Essentially, that means that when I go down to the Tidal Basin it's more than just tourists making me miserable. Should I go see an allergist? Take something more effective than Clariten? Hide in a pollen free bubble for the next month? Move to a place without trees?

Ugh.
