Pointless portrait of evil of the day:

These are poplar catkins.  Catkins are flowers.  Flowers make pollen.  Poplar flowers make poplar pollen, you know.

The only thing good about these particular catkins is that they are no longer making pollen.

This is all you're getting today, folks.  I have a pretty nasty headache at the moment.

Gee, I wonder why...
