Holy Haboob!


A taperworm of the most unusual variety...

Nathan, my brother, and our sole crew member from the Phoenix area, sent us an e-mail tonight letting us know he might be a few hours late getting out of Phoenix because of this massive duststorm that hit Phoenix yesterday. His pool and entire yard and house were dusted by this freak storm.

I lived in Phoenix a total of 10 years and I never remember seeing a duststorm this big. It has a name, "Haboob".

There's only one thing to do...bring the swim goggles!









This wouldn't be the first time I used swim goggles while running in the desert. I can remember summer evening track workouts in Scottsdale where I was glad I had my goggles!

The girls have been watching me pack. They have inspected everything and they have something to say about it.














Iris has the last word.
