That is one scary picture. I listened to the audiobook version of Timothy Egan's "The Worst Hard Time" last year---it was incredible. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/25/bo...w/25royte.html

And that is why I did not ride outside Monday night. Thank goodness for rollers. You could "taste" the air, it was so thick and chewy with dirt. I made it home from work just in time.

I saw that on TV and started thinking about my upcoming mountain bike marathon in Palo Duro Canyon. Eek!
