A friend living in a north African country mentioned a haboob in one of her recent communications, which makes our chronic construction dustiness seem like nothing. But the dust does keep ahead of me. And I have to say, our crews are about as tidy as you can get, often vacuuming up after themselves at the end of the day. But the dust spreads beyond where they are working... Sometimes I feel I need to clean my glasses, so I remove the dust on them, put them back on my face - and there is still a fine fog of dust in the air!
