April sandstorms bring...well I don't know what the hell they bring
It's a sandstorm, I've lived in Phoenix and I've never seen any thing like this. This is pure hell. I can't breathe. It is hard and labored we all are dying or at least feel like we are dying. This wall of sand something that could only be created by an angry God rose out of the desert and blotted out both the Sun and the Moon.
This place has some red haze that reminds me of Mars or Hell I'm not sure yet. I'm mostly dizzy. You can't go inside and hide from this crap the sand is so fine and the wind is so strong that the sand is coming inside the buildings and is covering everything. My food had a thin layer of grit from the sand. On top of that sand gets all in your eyes and if you wipe your eyes you get more sand in your eyes, which burns more. On top of that the sand cuts like little pieces of glass. Trying to wash anything with water turns anything near it to mud which cakes on more sand.
Oh God, why hast thou forsaken me!
I can see where every end of the world story in the Bible came from.
...and this is day 1.

Thanks for the kind words.
I can't in good faith take them. I'm not out here out of loyalty or commitment or patroitism or any of that. I'm out here because I value my financial security just a wee bit more than my physical securtiy.
I don't see my job in a political or a moral light and I could care less about the politics or the morals involved. I see it as a job, that affords me a lifestyle I choose to live. That's all it is. A job.

We just had one this weekend. There was about an inch of sand on one of the roads.
