Man It's Foggy Outside.....

Oh, wait!! That's not fog, it's dust!! This is what I woke up to at 5am this morning. I got up early so that I could run, walk, suck wind over to the coffee place and get a latte before I showered and got ready for work. Well, scratch that thought. :-( It rained late last night and was nice and clear and cool when I went to bed, and I figured that it would be a nice morning. Wrong answer! Apparently a sand storm blew through last night and we were left with the nasty, icky, moon dust and close to zero visibility (notice that there is no sign of the mountains in the distance). It is a little after 1pm right now and it has not cleared much at all. I guess it could be worse.....a friend of mine is at one of the FOB's (forward operating base) and she said it was really bad there. So much so that there is an extra 5" of moon-dust sand in her tent.
