    Yeah, recycling isn't the best, either: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfKkgT9zXV0 (this was the least gag-inducing I could find).
    No pretty way to address an ugly issue.

    Add me to the runny nose list, too. Can't do the snot rocket thing...way too watery and the thought just gags me. I plan on trying a medical solution. I had read somewhere that this condition is called "vasomotor rhinitis", and that there is a prescription nasal spray called Atrovent that can help control it. I'm going to ask my doctor about it, the next time I see him. I don't ride very often in the dead of winter in Chicago...but I will attempt to ride when it gets above freezing. So I'm okay with using a nasal spray on an "as needed" basis...which would realistically only be a few times a month (if that) during the winter time.

    That's what I usually use - my prescription ran out so I'm back to the rubbed-raw-red nose and snot rockets. The prescription doesn't stop everything, but it controls the constant running. I need to get a refill -- NOW!
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.
