What Is An Expat?

We get some decent sandstorms here.  Not quite like that “Wall O’ Dust” you’ve probably seen pictures of, but impressive in their own right.

The sun looks pretty odd, too.

Hmm…you could set it on fire, I guess.

At first I heard “hey check out the clouds” so I went outside to see the blackness.  “Wow,” I thought.  “It’s gonna rain!”  Then I went back inside and carried on about my business.  Only later when I went out for something else and went around the corner of the building did I see the plumes.  All I saw the first time was black on the horizon, not the source.

We get a lot of dust devils here, too.  I’d say at any given time you can see at least two of varying qualities.

Closer view of the fires…

On the left is a C130 flying outbound.

‘nuther debil.  There’s trash flying around in this one.

I didn’t even know they still made these pants. Seen under the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
