Love it!

We'll all pray for that, Oilfield!

Jim Martin found this-it's cute. Bears

Got it! Knew there had to be either a race fan or a Charlie Daniels fan out there! Your turn, Wasway!

Thank you, Seth, for your courage and your heart to share your difficulties. Stay as strong as you can, and know there is a group of people who will pray for you. Bless you.

Love that song, love that scene-one of my favorites! ALways wanted a pair of leather pants like those-and to be able to look like she did! Thanks, Cowgirl!

"“Corps” our Priest school" ROFLMAO!!!!! Good one, Roy!

Now that would explain a lot.

The video from the first link is now defunct. No accidents were reported (at least that I heard), except for one fellow who somehow wound up in a mini canal-only up to his hubcaps. People are used to these storms and slow down. Now we're back to our normal blue skys and 105 plus temps. Oh, joy.

Happiest of Birthdays, Bowtwi!! Hope it's a great one!!! Dolly has a Happy Brithday holler for you too!

That actually is one of the options on that page, listening to Sky Harbor Airport traffic.. Try it again: Look to the right of the web screen and click on "Wall of Dust"-second, third choice down. Or try this one:Dust Attacks!

See how closely I follow this stuff? Not even married. Great role models out there, don't you think?

Here is the Late news Video from last night. Click on the "Wall of Dust" Video link to the right on the web page. You'll get a five second commercial, and then the broadcast. Probably only good for today. AZCentral Coverage

You have a date with a flight attendent flying in that day?

The whole celebrity worship thing is a joke. What's even more sickening is the "staying married until your next co-star" syndrome. Any bets on how long this marriage will last? I feel sorry for the kids having to grow up with this. Money and fame isn't everything, you know?

It actually looks worse than it is. Once it hits you, you are dealing with an uncomfortable situation for an hour or so. Visibilty can be reduced from a 1/4 mile to zero. If you are outside, you have to deal dust in the eyes, and over anything else exposed. Otherwise, it's like being in a fog bank. The most damage would come from the winds that push it along. Carrying an umbrella is an exercise in fultility. The worse of it is when rain comes along during or immediately afterwards. This is not like nice, cleansing, refreshing spring rain-oh no. This is like having globs of mud pouring from the sky-or at least it seems that way. Makes all the cars look they just went four wheeling. Lines for car washes after one of those fun days go for blocks. After one of these sessions, everything in the house feels dusty-whether I can see it or not. Keeps my feather-duster busy. I'm thinking of tying one to the cat's tail and letting her go to town.

More pics: Pretty wicked looking when you're on the ground watching it come right at you! I imagine our guys in Irag see this all the time.

In case you missed it, here are some links for pictures of last nights duststorm which blew through town. We are accustomed to some form or another of these things, part of something called monsoons around here, but this one was pretty awe inspiring. It reached 3000 feet into the air and was amazing to see coming at you. Phoenix Duststorms I'm still looking for pictures taken from a helicopter news crew which stayed north of the storm and followed it as it swept over Sky Harbor airport and swallowed up downtown Phoenix. The wall of dust extended from the east edge of the valley straight west to the other end, moving north at about 40-50 MPH. Now I've got to wash the car, darn it!

Aw, {{{Cool}}}-tears in my eyes! I'm so happy for you. I wish you many more years of happiness and stabilty. Praying for your health. Love Top

More? It's a downright joy for a country boy When he hears them engines moan But you gotta hang tough and it gets real rough When you're out there on your own Cause they'll push you around, they'll knock you down When you're up there against the wall

Great story, George! Those are the kinds of memories that make life fun! BTW-Any "West Side Story" songs come out?

Gee, YI-thank you for sharing. :unsure:

Happy Aniversary and congrats to you both! 26 Years-amazing!

I would suggest "Friend Tracker" and the "Corps" threads, since that is a partial reason for coming to the Forums for former Twit'ers. The "Open" thread and "About the Way" for the grab bag of thought processes. "Doctrinal" for the machochistic souls ( ). And "Silly"-just so they know it's not all serious in here. Thanks for your hard work.

"Sneakers?" (Just a thought-I'm still saying my Hail Mary's)
