What Is An Expat?

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…

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