Dust

Well it's March 1, so we've finished another month. This must be the dust storm season. Anytime there is consistent wind we get dust in the air. If you are from Sacramento, think of it as just like fog, only it's dust. You may have visibility for 100 yards, but then there is so much dust you can't see. Then everyone starts walking around with masks, or a covering over their mouth. You go inside thinking you can escape, but after a day you realize there is a thin layer of dust everywhere, so it's there too. Yesterday I want to another base and when I was trying to leave they stopped us becase it was decided that the roads were too dangerous due to reduced visibility. We went to their DFAC and had some lunch, then eventually it cleared up enough for us to leave. Today it's clear, but there is still a haze in the air.
