Just not familiar with those either…is this in Howard County?

So by FedEx Field?

That whole area is a mystery to me…

Come on man. I don't even watch football but I know FedEx Field is in PG County.

Also, Scaggsville is in Howard County, not Montgomery.

You're thinking of Landover, which is right in the middle of Prince George's County. Laurel is in the northernmost part of Prince George's with some parts straddling Anne Arundel, Howard, and Montgomery counties.

Funnily enough, FedEx Field was almost built at Laurel Park horse racing track.

How else to learn about a Boring Accident?

[Cock Van Der Palm]

Yes Howard County.  You pass the Scaggsville exit heading from DC to Baltimore on 95 (Or heading from Baltimore to DC on 95).

  You pass the Scaggsville exit

pretty much we all do that, I guess you take it

[grateful]

Where is Scaggsville?

Where the Scaggs live.

Then I looked it up and I wasn't wrong

"The town is named for the Scaggs family, who settled 700 acres (2.8 km2) of farmland in the 1830s and continue to live in the region. The area also used the name "Hells Corner" as a postal address in Civil War times"

Does anybody have experience with humidifiers and air scrubbers?

Combined, a humidifier and air scrubber are going to cost me $2100. Most of it the air scrubber.

I have terrible allergies...dust, mold, pollen, etc., and my daughter inherited them from me. So any relief is worth the money, if they work significantly.

Do they?

[ye-ole-hatch ıll|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|llıl]

Humidifier is an excellent addition to your HVAC IMO
not sure about allergies, but definitely helps my breathing in winter months

but it does require Maintenace and attention...if something goes wrong, you could be spreading mildew and mold in your system

You could also clean your house more than semi annually.

we have a few portable "room air filters", so not connected to HVAC.  they're running 24/7 these days as we are in the middle of a cloud of forest fire smoke.  AQI 2.5 is over 200, per PurpleAir, and peaked over 300 earlier this morning.  it's fucking disgusting out there: smoke is completely hiding mountains, sunlight is orange, school is cancelled.  spending more than a few minutes outside leads to burning nose and throat, and a headache.  we're under house arrest, essentially.  the room air filters work: typically cut down air particulate by at least half.

we're having a really eff'ed up autumn here: normally the rainy season should have started a week or two ago, instead we haven't seen precipitation since june.  bone-dry conditions have led to a forest fire about a dozen miles away from my house.  thanks, climate change.

those are totally different though, but adding humidity makes a lot of the dust/tiny things fall to the ground
