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.

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

I have finally updated the Gallery with pictures from our June trip to the US and the July Mexico trip.
2007 06 USA Just a few really. Mainly at the river running through Golden, Colorado.
2007 07 Mexico Lots of good stuff in here. Dolphins, cats, other animals, Mayan ruins, underground caverns, jungle, the beach and sea…you name it. Unfortunately I didn’t have the underwater housing for my camera so there are no cave diving pictures, though there are a couple lower quality ones from a cave snorkeling trip.

We are in Mexico right now. We had to leave the country before spending too many days in the USA, because then we would lose the “working and living outside the country” tax exclusion, which would cost many thousands of dollars in taxes.
So far, we have gone cave diving, skycycled over the jungle and through some caverns, swam with dolphins, paid entirely too much for the picture and DVD package of that, snorkelled (swam, really) through more underground caverns and rivers, seen jaguars, pumas, iguanas, birds of all colors, met some Turkish people who’d lived in Dubai, done some ziplining, rappelling (a short one, to be sure), visited Mayan ruins by the sea,…well, it’s been a fun trip.
Interestingly enough, this is our first actual vacation in the Western Hemisphere. I don’t really count the 2 previous trips to the USA as they were more like visiting home than doing anything new or unusual. Though I guess you could say visiting home has become unusual.:lol:
