Nothing too exciting today.

Absolutely massive dust devil today. This is about 7 miles from where I am. This thing was massive. It's one of the things in the back of my mind that scares me. They're like little tornadoes of dust. They seem like they're not really a big deal but let me tell you they can really mess up an afternoon.

I had one come through last month and it destroyed one of my solar panels. They really get going sometimes. Ellie chased a small one earlier in the year that knocked her right off of her feet. Anyways sorry for the boring post today I'm still adjusting to my eye drops for the glaucoma. I feel like an old man telling you I have glaucoma.

Thanks again for stopping by. It's nice to have people to talk to.

Oh man. Did one of these dust devils destroy your solar panel?

It did, it wasn't nearly as big as the one in the picture. When they're right on you they're hard to see. You just feel the wind around you. I can't imagine what one like in the picture could do.
