If you are sensitive to trees, grasses, weeds and molds see what might be blooming here around the time of your visit by looking at the web site of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology: http://www.aaaai.org/nab/west.stm Select "San Jose (Station 2)," it has more recent data. Use the graph feature at the bottom of that page, input today's date 1999 (i.e. 4-1-99) and you'll get a graph of the last 12 month's activity. Click on a bar of the graph to see what was active on that date. Pack tissues ;-) 
An Asilomar Beach Summer The family moved to Monterey in the summer. The small, dark-stained cabin was a welcome relief from the '60 Studebaker they drove across country, motel-hoping on Route 66. The fog was the constant that summer, sometimes like a white canvas tent shading everything, sometimes like a wet towel on the tops of the pine trees and sometimes down playing peek-a-boo among the trunks. The fog, close, familiar. Everyday the sister walked the little girl down the path to Asilomar Beach, the soft white sand grabbed at every footstep. Here the fuzzy dune plants glowed iridescent blue- and gray-green under the fog, there the ancient, silver-gray driftwood logs lounged. Sea gulls laughed overhead and then the living sea of many moods, whispered to the sandpipers running toward the sea and back, toward the sea and back. They always left for the beach early in the morning and headed back when the wind picked up in the afternoon. The purpose was castles: sprawling in warm, dry sand, lazy behind the windbreak of logs, embellished with the finest satin-gray twig palisades and precious beach glass. Or proud and tall albeit short-lived in the hard wet sand decorated with thumbprint pits and wet sand dribbled off little fingers into turrets. Moats, they always took so long - and must be constructed last - rarely got completed before the wind woke up and drove the sisters home. One morning on the way to the beach, the girl crested a dune and came quietly upon a resting doe, her slender legs trucked under her, sheltered in a hollow among the beach plants, a secret between the girl and the deer. The sister, her mind on gangly teenage boys, didn't see. We encourage your feedback, please send your comments to our newsletter editor, Karla Noyes: mailto:editor@gomonterey.com.
