Some of you may remember telling a short story before about the winds here. Believe it or not this picture is a picture of the sun, not the moon. We have been having a nice windstorm today and yesterday. On our way to church yesterday to see the Karpenko's I took this picture. The windstorms can be so bad here that the dirt gets blown in under the doors. Last night I left open the window in the kids bathroom a crack since temps have been between 85 and 90. This morning the sinck was nicely coated with brown sand. I'm grateful for my glasses whenever I have to go out in the wind here, though they aren't capable of keeping it all out of my eyes either.
You can find all kinds of goodies in your backyard after a good windstorm like this. Or you can go check every couple of hours and there will likely be something new back there you might be able to snatch up. A neighbor of ours found a childs doll stroller in her yard and she toured the neighborhood trying to find out who it belonged to. She had exhausted all the possibilities on our block and still couldn't find the owner.
Which reminds me about the Mexicans who drive around the base here. On trash day, or other days they hop in their pick up truck and go to driving around. Military are notorious for throwing things out that need just a little fixing, but they are way to busy to even attempt it, so they toss it out in the trash. The Mexicans aren't stupid, they drive around the base and snatch things out of the trash like appliances, vacuums, and furniture. They fix them up for next to nothing and sell them for a decent price, then they have made a profit off of your trash. It gives a new meaning to "one man's trash is another man's treasure".
