It is everywhere. It clogs air filters, coats everything from furniture to vehicles and hangs in the air like a thick fog. It was over 120 degrees yesterday in the shade. It's going to get worse. I have not posted recently as I have not really felt like it. I will catch up soon. Big things coming...

Death Valley temperatures. Too bad you don't get the air miles to go along with the trip to Iraq. Stay safe.

Maj K,
I can see what your dust looks like over at http://themakahasurfreport.blogspot.com/
Hope the "big things coming" are all good news.

ditto edward... hope it's good news... Hang tough, Soldier... We are still here supporting you and your work.

Yes, it was shown on Foxnews just what the dust looked like today. Take care, God bless.

Hey Major...
Glad to see you're ok. Tired, hot and dirty.... but ok.
Can't wait to read more, when you're up to it!

I read a military blog that said he thought his day was boring and dull - routine for him. For us here at home, your blog is anything but those things. You have a following of folks who love hearing from you, support you, and pray for you. When you don't blog, we miss you, but we understand. Somtimes we worry (which ups the prayer time). Be encouraged.

I know it's hot and you're a long way from home, but please tell everyone over there that I'm praying for all of you and thankful for all of you! God bless you and keep you till you come home! -Mom in America

Thank you so much for being there. I just divorced a man who proudly bragged that no "man" in his family had ever served in the military and never would. Oh, there were other problems as well, but a patriot is a patriot is a patriot. He is history. May God richly bless you and keep you safe. Thank you a million times over.

Your area is comparable to Yuma, Arizona or Blythe, California(Blythe is 100 miles N. of Yuma, on the Colorado River)
From Dec. 71 to Nov 30 1974, I worked as a California Highway Patrol Officer from the Blythe Office.
Daytime temps out on the desert west of Blythe were 126-133. My preferred shift out on I-10 was 1400-2230.
Dust: In Blythe, you can not seal it out. It gets in your house, in your clothes, and you have to change air filters on your car every 1,000 miles.
