Sandstorm

China's newest expert to wreak havoc on the health of the world at large...sand. Their deforestation and damming have caused vast areas to turn into deserts. We now reap the benefits with literally clouds of sand blowing across the city. I have honestly never seen anything like it. I washed my scooter yesterday under perfect weather. Today, I walked out of the university after teaching a class for an hour and it was covered in a film of dust. When I came out of my school tonight, it looked like I had taken my scooter off-roading. There is probably about a hundred meter visibility right now.
Jonathon even had to go home because he went swimming in it and figures he sucked in too much of it from breathing hard.
He was having chest pains and couldn't take deep breaths.
Stupid China.

Anyways, at least my baby is still cute.
