Sandstorm


We had our first “sandstorm” today. To be honest, it was a bit of a letdown. I was expecting something from the movie “The Mummy”, with howling winds and stinging sand. In reality, the visibility went down to a ¼ mile and looked like a dirty haze. Outside also smelled very dirty. Call it more of a big dust cloud than anything else—very similar to Beijing. I was wishing that I had my camera to take a picture, and a few hours later, a new camera from Braye arrived in the mail. So, this blog is going to become a lot more visual.
