Wow, I can breathe.

The sounds of someone preparing a glass of salt water, then deliberately partially inhaling it, are amusing.

tiel pointed me in the direction of this interesting technique for dealing with allergies, and I must say, it's interesting. The proper technique has a bit more in the way of implements (you pour the saline up one nostril and let it pour out the other, with your head at such an angle so it doesn't get into the back of your throat, and gravity gets to take care of it pouring out the other nostril) but sticking your nose in a glass of salt water and inhaling carefully and gently seems to do a great deal of interesting things, most of them relating to you then letting salt water sputter into the sink when you pull your nose out of the glass.

Arizona is both bad and good for my sinuses. Good: I do not often have them totally clogged by evil goo. Bad: the evil goo that would otherwise have been clogging them has been dehydrated, and clings to the inside.

Thus, water up my nose. This may actually turn the trick of making my nose both clear of yuck, and have the inside moisturized.

snorted salt water is also good for sinus infections.... as is colloidal silver.

Hm, I'll have to remember that when I come back home. Have not been getting sinus infections here.
