Mother Nature in the Desert

Looks like Mother Nature is letting us know that she is still around, even in the desert. On Tuesday I woke up to find fog all around. This was the first time that I had seen fog over here. Don’t know why, but it struck me as odd to see in the desert. Well yesterday the weather turned in another direction. A little after lunch, the skies darkened and the wind picked up as a sand storm rolled in. The air is just full of dust. It is everywhere, dirty air. I figured that it would only last for a little while, but it lingered through the night and is still around today. You can look directly at the sun and it is about he same brightness as the moon. Everything is cast in a yellow-orange hue. It is hard to see more than a few hundred meters in any direction. It is like fog but with dirt.

So we go from the air having too much moisture, to the air having too much sand. What a week.
