I totally get how Khan must have felt now.
http://www.fox5vegas.com/slideshow?widgetid=152441 My first dust storm... Up here, visibility wasn't that bad, though the sky turned beige/grey late in the afternoon. Winds have been strong for a few weeks but yesterday things were definitely up a notch. Pollens plus dust do take a toll us though. Even if I'm not typically subject to allergies, I've been sneezing and now coughing pretty badly...
I think spring is the only season that really sucks around here, oddly enough.
