Civil Disobedience is an essay that is usually published inside a book that contains other writing by Henry David Thoreau. The reason is because Civil Disobedience is extremely short. There’s enough room to put it at the end of Walden.
My copy of Walden was a Barnes & Noble version that included not only Civil Disobedience, but also a timeline of Thoreau’s life, an introduction, and a detailed section that described the meaning behind some of Thoreau’s references that were commonly understood at the time, but mysterious and confusing today.

Kitchen Scramble is a game that was originally created by Playdom. Long story short, Playdom decided on April 20, 2014, to make Kitchen Scramble unavailable on their website. I hadn’t gotten too far through the game, so this was disappointing.

The pollen count has been nice and low for the past week. The highest it got was 7.1, and the lowest was a glorious 2.3. I believe this means that I have survived this year’s Spring Pollen Season.

Episode 20 of Candy Crush Saga is called Candy Clouds.It features a Giant who has fallen from his castle in the Candy Clouds. He hit the ground and was knocked out.
The little girl, Tiffi, asks the Giant what happened. He needs her help to get back to his castle. The only part of the Giant that we can see is his feet and part of his legs. This works for the story line, but seems odd later on when the disembodied feet and legs are added to the game board.
Walden is a book that some people are first introduced to when they are forced to read it in school. I didn’t read it until long after I’d finished school. The book came to me as a prize in a contest that was held during a meeting at work. It took me years before I got around to actually reading the book.

Gardens of Time was originally created by Playdom. They sold it to RockYou shortly after Playdom removed Gardens of Time from the Playdom website. I did not immediately seek out the app because I had no device to play it on.

Niantic held a very short Pokémon GO event that was called Worldwide Bloom. It started on the afternoon of May 5, 2017, and ended on May 8, 2017. This is the first Pokémon GO event that I have seen that did not connect to a real world holiday.

Today, the pollen count was 7.7. It is just a little bit higher than yesterday’s pollen count. Somehow, I have unintentionally managed to force myself to be productive and get paid writing work done even while I’m sick and experiencing “brain fog”.

Today, the pollen count was 7.6. It is going up, again. I’m tired of writing about it, and flat out exhausted from all the extra allergens that have been in the air for far too long.
This may be the pollen season that never ends. I’m in California, so there is no chance of winter snow coming to freeze the air and kill all the plants. The air here is fairly dry, which means there’s hardly any mold to worry about. So, that’s one allergen I don’t have to fight with.
I woke up sick today, again, and feeling anemic. I am tired, tired, tired.
We are supposed to get some cooler weather over the weekend. I’m hoping that will be enough to end this horrifically long pollen season.
