Sand Storm, originally uploaded by Midcoast Mainah.Fran and I were typing away on GoogleTalk this morning, (morning my time, after work hours his time,) when this storm was going on outside his tent. Fortunately it didn’t effect our communications at all. He said it was the second storm like this in just a couple days. He thinks they are moving into the season for it.
I told him it looked like snow! He used the flash and it really made it look like snowflakes!
So, when they say that sand gets in to everything over there, I see why!
One more thing…if you see a different header than you are used to, don’t be alarmed…I finally changed it to match the new purpose of this blog. If you can’t see a different header, and the coffee beans are still there, click the refresh button a time or two. Voila, you’ll see a flag!

Yeah, with the flash, the sand looks wet! I think, all and all, I’ll take the rain, ice, hail (well, I don’t particularly like hail), and snow storms over sand storms. I can’t imagine finding sand in everything all the time. Of course, that may just be because that’s what I’m used to. Who knows?

I have been in sand storms before in Texas and they are not pretty! They have road graders to move the sand drifts off the roads just like they use in the states that receive snow. The sand gets into everything & it is miserable especially in the eyes.

Yep, looks like the real stuff! Just like the heavy, wet, white stuff falling right now here in IL as we speak. It looks and feels like December here (this is April, correct?)! I’ve heard and seen pics of those sand storms and do they hurt. Keep yourself covered Fran. Take care
