Friday's Dust Storm

Here's the view from Pima Road (and Indian School if I remember correctly) on Friday afternoon, April 14. I didn't think the air could get any more dirty...until Saturday morning when my boyfriend and I could hardly see the Papagos from the intersection of Scottsdale and McDowell. Wind in the Valley has become one of the things I dread most these days, as it kicks up a brown cloud that is hard to endure, let alone get rid of. Those recent winter months without rain were hard, because the cloud during that time was immobile! And I've never had worse allergy problems.
