Sandstorm

We had a bit of a sandstorm today, although I am told it was more of a duststorm. Apparently it gets much worse. Most days there is a little dust in the air and you can almost always taste it and feel it when you breathe. Today was something else, you had to cover your eyes and mouth just to walk 100m outside. At dinner, I kept biting down on grains that had lodged between my teeth during the day. It wwas not actually much wind, but as you can see from the photo below, two photos taken of the same view, it was something...

UPDATE: I did an update here a couple days ago but for some reason, it didn't take. Anyway, here is another photo that adds a little prespective. The closest trees are about 10 feet away.

Is this a joke? Not sure if I should laugh at the brown on the right side. Are you bored cuz it'd be a groaner.
On second thought, when you need a breath of fresh air, it probably feels that way.
