For Those In ‘Las Vegas’ For Super Bowl LVIII — Pollen Counts Are ALWAYS High Due To Exotic Plants.

I listen to music, news & CNBC on ‘Sirius XM‘ quite a bit — both in my Volvo & while ambling, via the APP.

This morning, on one of the music shows, I heard three of their rather young (& still not very mature) “DJs”, in Vegas for the Super Bowl, complaining about sore throats — & vehemently denying that they were caused by excessive partying.

Cracked me up.

They obviously didn’t know that Vegas is FAMOUS for its high pollen counts and thus aggravating allergies — like sore throats.

It has to do with ALL the exotic plants that were brought in by the casinos!

I learnt about this the hard way in the 1990s. I had to visit & stay in Vegas, 4 to 5 times a year, for various Trade Shows, seminars I conducting or for business meetings. I found that I always got a heavy chest. Talked to a few, looked it up. They said allergies. Well known. Take lots of histamines before coming & during the stay. I did. That helped.

So, I wanted to SHARE that with you. OK?

Happy Chinese New Year 2024.

Year of the Dragon.

Thus, even more important that ever to go celebrate with the Dragons in Boston Chinatown.

I have been visiting Boston Chinatown for the New Year dragon parade celebrations since the late 1980s — bar COVID & two years (over that period) due to monster snowstorms.

Went last year and had a blast. See video above.

But, what people don’t realize is that the Dragon Parades are on the 2nd Sunday of the 10-14 day New Year celebrations.

2nd Sunday.

So, it will NOT be tomorrow, though they will, of course, be celebrating the New Year. Just NOT all the dragons. That will be NEXT Sunday. Got that.
