Dust Storm Lifts

Wow,
Dust storms in the desert are really nasty things. I would hate to be on a camel and going across the desert following a really bright star. Tonight it cleared up and you can see all sorts of stars and the moon and spy satellites :). Now I know why camels have such long eyelashes and a big old tail. The flys around here are really persistent and the dust just messes with your eyes. The dust really gets to you, it is so fine it takes your breath away. I tried to blow up a glove for a kid, and well I couldn't even get get it past a normal sized glove. Thankfully I am not trying to play trumpet here. Things are kind of in the groove here, like the movie groundhog day. Same story, new day. Thankfully they are not changing for the worse. Last thought, it is funny that they actually use a vacuum truck on the airport ramp, but it seems to stir up more dust than it sucks. Best way to clear the ramp is a rotor wash from a blackhawk helo. 2 weeks down. Seems like an eternity since I was in Ohio.
